about to do a coopers irish stout, but for a change im going to steep some flake barley and chocolate malt for 30 mins bring to a boil add some dark spray malt and east kent goldings hops boil for an hour, then add this to the coopers kit in the fv, is this alright to do more just wandering about the boil, im also using white labs Irish ale yeast,

thanks for any advice:cheers: andy.
 
Only issue is steeping flaked barley. It's better mashed. Some people do steep it apparently. So maybe give it a go. Or just add a bit of pale malt to the barley and choc malt and hold at mash temperature 65-70C with 2.5 - 3 litres water per kg grain.
