I'm really excited to try a Wee Heavy. One of my favorite styles when I'm not in the "hop" mood. I have been working on beersmith to develop my recipes with good luck so far. But now it hit a snag and need some words from experience, please.
I decided I need to keep it (recipe) simple. I think a good Wee Heavy could be 100 percent 2 row but I'm probably going 1-2% roasted barley, too.
For technique, I was going to boil down some first runnings to add color/flavor. People seem to have great luck with this method. My question, though, lies in this technique. How can I predict an fairly accurate OG with that? In beersmith I didn't see an option for this technique. I don't want to be way off on my OG. Thanks.
