Mikes Irish Stout

This is a modification to my origional recipe which had none of the "flaked" products that are specified here. I had some left overs that I wanted to get rid of......what's the worst that could happen here???????

Brewer: Cheesehead Mike Email: mmayer13@aol.com
Beer: Mikes Irish Stout Style: Irish Dry Stout
Type: All grain Size: 10.5 gallons
Color:
101 HCU (~35 SRM)
Bitterness: 15 IBU
OG: 1.076 FG: 1.018
Alcohol: 7.5% v/v (5.9% w/w)
Water: Tap water run through a 5 micron filter.
Grain: 24 lb. British pale
2 lb. Roasted barley
12 oz. Flaked barley
12 oz. Flaked oats
12 oz. Flaked wheat
Mash: 73% efficiency
Single step mash at 154° for 90 minutes. RIMS system constantly recirculated wort throughout the entire mash cycle.
Boil: 75 minutes SG 1.057 14 gallons
16 oz. Malto Dextrin
Added Malto Dextrin at the beginning of the boil. IMPORTANT NOTE: TURN OFF BURNER PRIOR TO ADDING MALTO DEXTRIN OR A BOIL OVER CAN ALMOST BE GUARRENTEED!!! After addition of malto dextrin, carefully bring back to a boil. Irish moss added with 15 minutes left in the boil.
Hops: 1 oz. Fuggles (4.75% AA, 30 min.)
1.5 oz. Mt. Hood (4.5% AA, 30 min.)
Yeast: 5 gallons with European Ale Yeast
5 gallons with Edinbourough Ale Yeast
Log: Brewed 1/1/03
Carbonation: 2.5 volumes of CO2
Tasting: Past brews were excellent!!! Just enough roasted barley for that great coffee flavor after taste typical of a dry stout. I think the addition of the "flaked" products in this batch had everything to do with the overall smoothness.
