Ok, So this will be the first brew i do based on a recipe i've put together. I've done kits, then non-kits of others' recipes, and have done a couple slightly altered recipes, but i just wanna make sure that i'm not gonna screw this up.
I wanna do a Belgian Strong Dark or Quad-esque beer for SHMBO. I've looked at lots of recipes both here and other places online and this is what i've come up with.
6.5# Amber LME
4# Munich LME
1/2 # Caravine
1/2 # Special B
1/4 # Chocolate Malt
1/2 # Belgian Pale Ale Malt
1.5 # Dark 2 Belgian Candy Syrup (really excited about using this particular ingredient)
1 oz nugget @ 60 min.
1 oz Styrian Golding @ 15 min.
I'd specifically appreciate suggestions on the specialty grains and hop choices. I don't really know which hops are best for which style beers, much less desired intricacies within styles.
thanks in advance.
