I'm considering adding Carafa III Dehusked to my Bitter recipe and possibly changing up the hops schedule a bit. Currently, the grist is composed of:
80% Marris Otter
7.5% Crystal 120
4.5% Munich Malt
3% Cara-Pils
5% Lyle's Golden Syrup (boil)
I thought about adding the same quantity of Carafa III Dehusked as the Crystal 120 (which happens to be 1 lb, which would put the OG into the low 1.040s and the SRM into the mid 20's). Any thoughts on what kind of flavors this will add? What style might it be if I change up the hop schedule a bit (EKG and Fuggles)? Brown Porter? The Bitter's hop schedule is:
18.8 IBUs EKG and 4.1 IBUs Fuggles at 60 min
6.3 IBUs EKG at 30 min
0.2 IBUs EKG at 1 min
Any thoughts on how to change the hops schedule and what style I'd be making? The Bitter tastes great and I don't want to ruin a good thing, but I thought a little change might be nice to see what it does.
