Most of my recipes use 1/2 ounces of crystal 40 or 80 or ect..., but I was thinking of using a full pound in my next Irish Red. Just curious what you all thought.
Grain Bill: 5 Gallon batch
6 lbs. Maris otter malt extract
½ lb. Carapils
½ lb. Crystal 80
½ lb Victory
4 oz. Chocolate Malt
I was thinking of adding another 1/2 lb. of Crystal 40, but I've never brewed a Red before, and there's a lot I don't know about the style. I looked up several recipes, but there were many varieties of ingredients with all % levels of grains used.
