Oops 8-}
I have done base malt and choc malt and I have done peated barley base malt and choc malt, not sure of exact amounts they were spent grain from all grain mashs. And I used a 10l bucket full in a 60l fermenter.
I would estimate 6kg total grain and 8kg sugar in 60l. Any combination works inside these guidlines really is up to personall taste. A can of malt extract adds plenty flavour to these recipes to, like caramalt in mcwhiskey. Lots different types available, just make sure its unhopped.
I have been sour mashing them and doing 5gens on a grain bed. 10l backset per gen(60l total volume). I use calcium carbonate to adjust ph..
Going to do base malt and rye both all grain and sugar heads soon :D base malt I use either pilsner or pale ale..
One of my favs is 4kg pale ale 1kg choc malt 1kg caramalt 8kg sugar topped up to 60l, i get about 45l wash from it just right for a keg.
