Blackprinz (Briess)
500° L Briess Malting - This is a dehusked roasted malt that provides intense color without adding much (if any) astringency. This malt can add a subtle roasted flavor to a schwarzbier or Black IPA, or can be used sparingly to darken amber ales or porters.
Inspired by Vanilla BCBS, this is an attempt to make a big, oak-aged imperial stout with a big vanilla presence.
First time using the Barrel Aged malt. I'm hoping this turns out to be a real smooth stout, so I'm keeping the roast real low.

I'm hoping to brew more often, and will need something to replace the Scotch Ale (CC). This should be fairly similar to (AX), but some of the Pilsner malt will be from Mecca Grade and some of the roasted malts will be replaced by the barrel aged malt. Also, I'll try to up the pH of the water in order to round out the finish a bit more than last time. Finally, I'm going to do a second beer with the second runnings.
