What grain has the biggest impact on flavor? Vienna? Munich? Pilsner?
I'm working on a low-cal recipe. My first version turned out pretty good, it's very drinkable, but I'm trying to cut it even more.
My original recipe:
5.5 gallons
4.0 lb Pilsner Malt
1.0 Vienna Malt
0.5 lb Caramel 90 L
0.5 lb flaked oats
0.25 lb carapils
1.25 oz Cascade (4.6% AA) @ 60
0.5 oz Cascade (4.6% AA) @ 15
WLP029 German Ale/Kolsch yeast
I mashed at 158 for 60 min, then batch sparged. Did a 90-minute boil. Fermented at 65. Had an OG of 1.036, FG of 1.008.
This is my modification plan, cutting about a pound of grain out of the recipe:
5.5 gallons
4.0 lb "high flavor" malt
0.5 lb Crystal 120 L
0.5 lb flaked oats
0.25 lb carapils
1.25 oz Cascade (4.6% AA) @ 60
0.5 oz Cascade (4.6% AA) @ 15
WLP029 German Ale/Kolsch yeast
Mash at 158 for 60 min, batch sparge. 90-minute boil. Ferment at 65. OG: 1.023, FG: 1.006 (I used Vienna for the gravity calculations).
Grain suggestions?
