The beer turned out very well, and I got lots of good comments. It's a matter of taste, but if you prefer it a bit drier, you might reduce the crystal malt or drop it entirely, or for this gravity of stout, perhaps up the roasted barley to 1.25 pounds.

Ingredients:

8 pounds, pale ale malt
3/4 pounds, of crystal
1 pound, roasted barley
1 pound, flaked barley
1/4 pound, chocolate malt
1/4 pound, wheat malt
hops to 10-12 HBU
Wyeast Irish yeast

Procedure:

Standard mashing procedure used.
