Hi HBTers,
I'm putting together an Imperial IPA using all amarillo hops and grains that I roasted myself. I didn't have any mid-level roasted grains on hand so I soaked some 2 row for an hour, then baked it at 250 F for ~30 mins, removed half, then baked the rest at 350F for about 20 mins. I say about because I went by flavor/moistness judgement. Hopefully, I ended up with some 40-60 lovibond toasty goodness. It sure made the kitchen smell good. Anyhow, here's the recipe. WARNING THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED!!!

MALT:
