8 lbs Maris Otter
2 lbs Munich Malt
1 lbs Smoked Malt
1/2 lbs Crystal 40
1/2 lbs Chocolate malt
1/2 flaked oats
1/4 lbs Black Patent
1.5 oz cluster 7.8%AA (60 min) 35.8 IBU
US-05
Expected OG 1.060-1.064
I plan to brew this beer in 3-4 weeks and then let it sit and allow the flavors to blend together and mellow out until the fall. Planning 4-6 months in the bottle prior to drinking. I know the malt profile will be pretty complicated at first but will this much time allow things to become cohesive? Any thoughts or suggestions? Any help will be appreciated.
