I've been thinking about brewing a high-octane lawnmower beer to celebrate the arrival of warm weather. Based on what I've got on hand, I'm thinking 10 pounds of 2-row, 5 pounds of flaked maize, maybe a pound of Vienna, throw in enough UK hops (I've got EKGs and First Golds) to hit 25-30 IBUs, and ferment bone-dry with a saison yeast.
I don't typically brew pale beers (almost everything I do is in the amber-brown range) and I'm worried this will come out a bit weak on flavor and body. I guess one possibility would be to mash fairly high. If I do make this, I'm calling it Dragon Piss... What do you folks think; should I do it?
