Liquorice Stout AG Recipe Advice/Alterations

[MobBarley]

Hello! Its been a while since I first introduced myself on this forum Since then i've gone from kits to extract and then accumulating all my AG equipment. This will be my first AG recipe and I'd appreciate it if you could cast your eyes over it and tell me what you think and if i'm going wrong at all.

This will be a 19 litre brew and is loosely based on a Stout recipe i found with a few twists

Ingredients

3.25Kg Marris Otter
600g Crystal malt
200g Flaked Barley
150g Chocolate Malt
200g Roast Barley
100g Black Malt
100g Torrefied Wheat
30g Dried Liqourice Root (Crushed/Split)Boil 90 mins

50g Northdown 8.7%AA 90mins
25g Cascade 5.7%AA 90mins
25g Goldings 5%AA 10mins

1/2 protofloc tab 15mins ( not sure yet with it being a stout)

Brewlabs Borders yeast slant 300ml stater

Remember this is my first one so any advice or questions would be much appreciated

Cheers :

I'd say your going way too complex for your first, you will need to get to know your system and learn the ropes, if it was anything like my first (an IPA) it will taste nothing like you expect, your water and your system will differ from everyone elses and so will your method and so beer. If it were me all over again I'd make a simple bitter with up to 5% crystal and limit to 2 hop varities. When you mix a whole heap of stuff it's hard to define what ingrediant contributes what.
Most of all enjoy the day.

Thanks for the advice. I know it is a bit ballsy diving in to the AG with a recipe like this but i've had my heart set on a stout for a while now. Just want to get something really tasty for my first effort.

I think your sg will be around 1065 with a IBU of 100 odd, it going to be black,,,,, very black, not sure on the outcome of the fight between bitter and sweet will turn out. Look if your heart is set on making this then do, it will take quite a while to mellow.
Best of luck
