So I quickly came up with this last night:
I'm just wondering if it's acceptable to use Vienna in a SMaSH. Beersmith says yes, but I've also read that it should only be 80% or 90% of a grain bill. Is this true?
Also, would Vienna be a good choice if I wanted to do a little of my own toasting? Not too much, but just a little (around 12-15 SRM for the brew).
Lastly, would toasting the Vienna disqualify it as a SMaSH? Or not because it's all the same malt (more or less).
Thanks, guys.
