Hey folks
I'm about to start my first extract brew but a question has been haunting me from starting. I have made the recipe shown below but I'm not sure if that can be right. Surely steeping grains are not fermentables, they just add colour and flavour over your DME or LME?
62% - Light DME - 4 lb
31% - White sugar - 2 lb
3% - Roasted barley - 3 oz
2% - Chocolate malt (UK) - 2 oz
2% - Crystal malt - 2 oz
Irish ale yeast (liquid)
Fuggles - 2 oz 10 min
Super Styrians - 0.750 oz 30 mins
Super Styrians - 0.250 oz 10 mins
This according to Brew Target has the following numbers:
OG - 1.053
SG - 1.046
FG - 1.014
ABV - 5.0%
IBU - 20.7
SRM - 13.1
Is this looking suspicious as it reaches 5%? Also can any one guess at how this might taste? I've no diea what I was doing with those hops but it is meant to taste like a slight malty beer above balanced.
Thank you for your help!
