Banoffee Weizenbock

[Martybhoy]

I ordered​ ingredients for James Morton's banoffee weizenbock but the supplier I normally use didn't have chocolate wheat malt.

For reasons which now escape me, I substituted the 200g of chocolate wheat malt in the recipe with 200g of carawheat malt. All my grains will arrive in one bag so I'm stuck with the carawheat.

Can anyone tell me if I'd still be ok adding 200g of chocolate wheat malt to the mash?

Original grain bill is

3,000g German wheat malt
1,500g Maris otter
1,000g Munich malt
300g Special B
300g pale crystal malt
200g chocolate wheat malt (which I have substituted with 200g carawheat malt).

All help appreciated.

I'd probably just go for it as it is. If you added the chocolate wheat on top you might throw the whole thing out of balance. It won't be the same, but you've got enough other malt going on that I can't see it causing any huge problems. Though I've not used either of those grains myself so I might be completely wrong.
