    Default noob mistake or more like grain happy

    so i just realized after looking at some other recipes my wee-heavy is really closer to just an underhopped stout.
    I added way to much roasted barley.

    but thats how ya learn

    stouts aren't supposed to be heavily hopped either. So it's just a regular stout!

    As long as it tastes good, who cares about all the styles? I mean they are nice to have for competitions and such, but they are just guidelines. Do as you please!

    I am waiting on my oatmeal stout but I accidentally added an extra quarter ounce of East Kent Hops and it was a 90 minute boil. It should be interesting to see how it comes out. I am thinking about racking it to the secondary soon so I should grab a taste when I measure the gravity.

    i wonder if that will even be taste-able in a stout. was it a full boil?
