Light Roasted Barley Substitution

[Nails111]

I’m looking for a substitution suggestion for Briess’ Light Roasted Barley. (I believe it’s about 300L.) My local store only has the regular roasted barley. I can’t find any substitution suggestions for it online.

Maybe I just use a lesser amount of the regular roasted barley?

This is for a stout recipe I found online. Here’s the grain bill, if it helps.

· 11.75 lbs Rahr 2- Row
· 1.63 lbs Briess Chocolate Malt
· 1 lb Flaked Oats
· 0.5 lbs Briess Carapils
· 0.5 lbs Briess Light Roasted Barley · 0.5 lbs Briess Caramel 120L

If it were mine, I'd sub a light chocolate, i believe they run in the Lovibond range you want. It won't be an exact match but close. I believe Carafa 1 is in that range as well.

Thanks. I was also thinking of that, just wasn’t sure. I’m not too worried about an exact match. So, I may just go that route. Thanks again.

A lot of people think a stout just isn't right without roast barley.
The amount in this recipe is fairly small (about 3%) and using light roast barley or regular isn't going to make much of a difference.

yes also if you need more you can just grind the roasted barely in a coffee grinder and add it with 5 minutes left in the mash, no harshness will be tasted this way

Maybe some Special B.....

Yup I was thinking Carafa 1.

Briess roasted barley is 300 L and as far as I know that and the black roasted barley 500L are the only 2 they make.
I think it may just be the way it was listed.
Regardless, that much roasted barley on a stout isn't overdone.
Brew on!
