Hi All-
I was inspired by the SMaSH concept but I want something like an American Stout. I already have the 25# of base malt and the Bravo Hops.
Never use Bravo before. I have a bunch of East Kent Goldings too (but kinda wanted to stick with one hop. Unless I make this 2malt/2hops... TMaTH?)
(Before somebody says something about the recipe. The 57% efficiency is pretty realistic on my system. I Batch Sparge in a 48qt cooler with SS braid. Kettle maxes out at 9 gallons... getting about 4 gallons into two fermenters.)
So, How does this recipe look?
Thanks!
