So, I'm getting into my first all-grain recipes, and I wanted to clone Timothy Taylor's Landlord, an all-time favorite. I found the special, limited edition yeast (Wyeast 1469 West Yorkshire Ale) , but since the Northern Brewer recipe kit that I wanted to use was out of season, I got the inventory from the site and attempted to duplicate it.
Here's where the not-so-smart part comes in. The recipe called for Extra Dark Crystal malt. I thought that just meant 120L crystal malt.
It's:
6lb Golden Promise
.25 Extra Dark Crystal malt
I bought the grain bill from Brewmaster's Warehouse (great service), so it's all mixed together and there is no way of separating it out.
But, I wanted to scale up the recipe anyway, so I bought more pale malt (LHBS was out of Golden Promise), and uh, more 120L crystal malt.
Now that I realize my mistake, I'll go buy some extra dark crystal. My question is, should I add it in proportion to the extra grain when I scale the recipe? Or more of it than is called for by scale?
If anyone is still reading this, and can make any sense of it, please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
CB
