on tuesday I made a clone of Founder’s Breakfast stout and the LHBS did not have debittered black malt, as the recipe calls for, or Weyerman carafa III to substitute. So, I went with black patent and I realize now that the beer may be very bitter. Will this beer be too bitter without extended aging, if that will even help?
