Notes

Add 1/4 tsp of amylase to raise diastatic power to compensate for low-enzyme grain bill. Started w/ Bill's Double Chocolate Milk Stout as a reference recipe.

2 weeks after bottling very bitter/roasty and unbalanced. Definitely will want to dial back roast barley by half (or even all), and ditch some of the chocolate malts as well. Might also need to adjust water chemistry (most notably pH toward the alkaline) for future attempts as well.
