Hippoportamus

After brewing Jamil's brown porter I'm inspired to brew something bigger for the winter. I plan to multiply my base malt by 1.4 and my other grains by 1.1 to get close to a 1.070 starting gravity. Then I will substitute 1 pound of base malt for a pound of wheat malt to aide in head "creamyness". I will also use the recommended 350L chocolate, rather than an adjusted amount at 450L. Hops will be altered to only a bittering addition, but scaled appropriately in IBU's for the gravity. Finally, this beer will be finished on american oak cubes, becuase I haven't oaked before and I want to.
