Making this beer this weekend, thought I would post to see if I got any input... I want it pretty hoppy, and want to minimize any "cloying sweetness." (Thus the sugar addition.) Depending on what temp I mash this, and how well the yeast attenuates - this beer could go up to 9.0%. Any tips for keeping any "hot" alcohol flavors our of it?
-----------------------------------
Note 1 - this recipe started out as THIS ONE, just giving due credit, even though it is quite different.
Note 2 - we are making a "lot more" than 5G, but I scaled down the recipe in Beersmith to 5G size so it was easier to compare to other known recipes. Not looking for input on boil-off rate, volumes, etc.
