    Couple Ingredient Questions

    I would use Marris Otter as a base grain for nutty flavor. Maybe some biscut, and honey malt. I would not use real honey as it will not really give the honey flavor like the malt will.

    Orange peels in wort

    I have never boiled orange peels. I have put orange zest in after fermentation and did sort of a dry hop thing in an IPA and it turned out really nice.

    It was stored outside in the garage and it has been cold enough. Still does not taste the same way however. Maybe it is just a mental thing.:drunk:

    How much sugar is too much

    I guess that I see a lot of the hopslam receipes call for a ton of sugar in them. Maybe I will mash at like a 158 and reduce my wort down a bit.

    How much sugar is too much

    Trying to balance out the body. I guess my goal is a smooth, higher ABV, but not runny (watery) IPA. Would adding the CS thin it out too much? Should I mash at a higher temp? When you talk about dry do you mean alcohol taste or dry (crisp) on the tongue?

    Do your under age kids drink w/you at home?

    You also may want to refer to the increase of alcoholism and crime during prohibition. When things are illegal is supports a black market and sparks interest. I would much rather have my kid drinking with me than on a dirt road somewhere.
