I messed up at the LHBS the other day.
I intended to buy 3lbs of Crystal 20L but instead I bought 3lbs of Crystal 120L. I think it is safe to say this will not be anywhere close to an ESB. With the numbers I got from BrewTarget it seems I am making some sort of brown ale.
Here is the recipe so far:
78% Efficiency
Estimated OG 1.055
Estimated SRM 25
15# Gambrinus 2 row pale malt
3# Crystal 120L
2# Crystal 60L
1# Cara-pils
4oz Black Patent
I'm curious about 2 things.
1) What should my hop schedule be and which hops should I use? I have Vanguard (4.5 AA) Columbus (13? AA) and Willamette (6 AA)
2) What style would this best fall into (I understand the first one may have to be answered before the second)
