I wouldn't waste 3oz of mt hoods for bittering only if you have a higher AA hop available... I'd use some for a flavor addition though too...  |

Dan, AFAIAC that's false economy. I want to brew what I want to brew. Yeah, I may regret that in a year or so when things are worse than they are now, but it's a HOBBY dammit! |

Drop the 1 pound of C65, reduce the chocolate to 2 oz. and you're good to go. And I'd follow HH's recommendation to use a higher AA bittering hop (if you have a clean one like Magnum) and throw an oz. or so of those Mt. Hood in as a flavor addition.

The first thing I thought of with 1338 was an Alt. I agree with davidw - drop the crystal (or maybe reduce to just a few ounces) and use a higher alpha for the bittering - to about 45 ibu or so. |

Make a Stout or porter with only bittering hops.Use plenty of dark malts to cover up the horrid extract flavour. |
