Re: Strong Stout
I reckon you should half the flaked barley. That seems too much IMO.
Here's what I would do:
Untitled Recipe
0- Untitled Style
Size: 11.5 L
Efficiency: 75.0%
Attenuation: 75.0%
Calories: 253.93 kcal per 12.0 fl oz
Original Gravity: 1.076 (1.000 - 1.100)
Terminal Gravity: 1.019 (1.000 - 1.100)
Color: 30.6 (0.0 - 50.0)
Alcohol: 7.51% (0.0% - 10.0%)
Bitterness: 40.4 (0.0 - 50.0)
Ingredients:
2.5 kg Liquid Light Extract
500 g Barley Flaked
250 g Roasted Barley
30.0 g First Gold (6.2%) - added during boil, boiled 90 min
Hope that helps!

Re: Strong Stout
Thanks for that.
Will cut the flaked barley down to 500g and go for 30g of hops.
Can't wait to get going now!!!

Re: Strong Stout
Enjoy! 
Re: Strong Stout
I just thought I might point out that floydmeddler is suggesting 2.5kg extract in 11.5L. If you use 3kg extract in 2 gallons you will be looking at either 11% beer or sweet beer (if the yeast can't handle strong alcohol). If you're restricted on boiling capacity and want to use the full 3kg you could consider diluting post-boil - make up to about 13 - 14L. You might also want to increase the hops if you do it this way.
A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it's better to be thoroughly sure.

Re: Strong Stout
All went well yesterday!
Ended up with 11 litres at 1075 and its fermenting away nicely.
Will transfer to secondary after a week and then on to the next one!!!
