Est Original Gravity: 1.098 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.021
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 10.00 % Actual Alcohol by Vol: 0.65 %
Bitterness: 49.0 IBU
Changes made on the recommendation of my LHBS:
reduced Caravienne from 8oz to 4 oz
reduced Crystal Malt from 1lb to 8oz
removed 8oz of raw barley
also changed from 11lbs of DME to 11lbs of LME
LHBS thought these changes would lessen the sweetness of the beer. The change from DME to LME has me concerned, do I really need 11lbs of LME?
Also, should both hops be boiled for 60 minutes?
thanks,
