Notes

This is a very simple dry stout with a bit more body. It is meant to be rather dry with a low ABV to keep it highly drinkable with a good balance between the roasted and malty flavors. The Dextrine and flaked barley are there primarily for body and balance. There are two types of roasted grains to add a bit more complexity to the roasted flavors.

NOTE: I do a recirculating mash and add the flaked grain on top of an established grain bed to help avoid lautering issues. The roasted grains do not need mashed, only steeped. Wait to add these until just before you raise the temperature for the mash out. This helps to reduce astringency and help remove any issues of the roasted grain causing the mash pH to be too low.
