First of I want to thank everyone on this forum for the myriad of information. I have been lurking for a couple of months and I have sucsefully completed 3 batches. My first was a Brewers Best American Amber kit, my second was a Belgian White from AHS, and my third was a Stone IPA clone from AHS (bottling tomorrow if all goes well). I wanted to make another Amber, but not from the kit, so while I was in Nashville for Thanksgiving I purchased items that were in the Brewers Best kit (except for the LME) and I also purchased some caramunich. The Brewers kit contained 3.3lbs Plain Malt Extract LME, 2lbs of Amber DME, 8oz of crystal 60L, and 2oz of Williamette hops (1oz@ 60min, and 1 oz @5min).
I currently have 6lbs of Amber DME, 8oz of crystal 60L, 2 oz of Williamette, and in addition I have 1 lb of caramunich. I know I have more DME than needed to "reproduce" the kit, but my main question is whether or not anyone here would use the caramunich, and if so how much would you use? If there are suggestions on a better way to use what I have in inventory I would appreciate any and all help. I currently do a full 5 gallon boil and can cool the wort from 200-190 to 70-80 degrees in less than 10 min thanks to the chiller I designed from the help on this forum.
Again, thanks for all the help everyone gives here and if I asked something stupid (blame the American Amber...j/k) please take it easy on a noooooooob.
