The first one I made was a bit too sweet with not enough bitterness. I backed off on the munich malt and plan to up the hops. Still think I need to pick up another oz of hops cause those AA%'s are so low. Any suggestions on the malt bill or on whether I should bitter or flavor with the Tett or Spalt? Thanks
