So, I had planned on trying to clone Tall Grass's 8-bit pale ale. Good stuff.
The LHBS had a pretty skimpy grain selection, so I made some last minute adjustments. They also only sold in 1 lb increments, so I had to get extra grain. Finally, they did the milling, so ALL of the grain got milled together before I remembered to tell them to only use some of it. Needless to say, this isn't the recipe I set out for. 6 gallon batch:
10 lb US 2-row
1 lb Munich
1 lb crystal 10
1 lb amber
It is that amber I'm worried about. At 1 pound, I think it is some pretty intense stuff. Also, I'm now at 15% unfermentable too.
So here's my plan. Reduce the mash temp to 147 to get all the fermentation I can out of it.
Add a bunch of citrusy leftover hops for flavor additions. To try and combat the amber malt flavor a little.
Thoughts?
Heating strike water now...
