So I decided to make an Oktoberfest Ale ('cause I can't lager right now) to be ready in about 8 weeks. I basically took some sort of combination between Edworts Oktoberfest Ale and Jamil's Oktoberfest.
For a 11 GALLON BATCH this is what my recipe is:
Malts:
8# German Pils
7# Munich
5# Vienna
2# Caramunich 60L
Hops:
3oz Hallertau 3.9AA 60 mins
1oz Hallertau 3.9AA 20 mins
Yeast:
Wyeast Kolsch (2565) w/ starter per mr. malty pitching rate calculator.
OG 1.052 (70% mash efficiency)
Here is the problem:
The Caramunich I got was 120L instead of 60L. I know this will make the color but how will it affect the flavor? Should I add more Hallertau because of the darker Caramunch Malts?
I've already bought and milled the crains so I'm stuck with this grain bill...
Thanks
Mike
