Yes those are my same concerns. Mine ended up around 4.5% and would like to try bumping it to the 7-8% range and I wouldn’t mind a bit more roastiness. As after 5 or 6 weeks in the keg I am experincing a mellowing of the roast. I haven’t plugged it into brewers friend yet, but my thought is to try increasing the whole recipe 25% and then increase the base malt from there. Obviously the hops would need increased too.
That sounds like a wise course of action. If you pull the trigger please post results. I may do the same later this winter.
