Ok, so I wanna brew an English pale ale and I found a recipe on this site for Honkers ale and added some biscuit malt to it. I've never created a recipe before or modified a recipe so not sure what things taste like looking at them on paper.
The recipe is for a 4 gallon batch
5lb British two row pale
1lb American victory
.5 lb British crystal 60L
.5 lb biscuit malt.
.5 oz fuggle at 60
.5 oz Willamette at 25
.5 oz fuggle at 25
.5 oz Willamette at 15
OG 1.045
Fg 1.011
Abv 4.4 but will be a smidge higher cuz of biscuit no?
Srm 10
There was no yeast mentioned. I have a pack of Nottingham left over (ordered two by mistake). I'm not cheap so will buy more yeast if it won't do for this.
I want something with a lot of body and taste. Will this do it? I like Honkers Ale by Goose Island and Pompous Ass by Great Lakes so want to make something similar. Opinions are appreciated. I know everyone has one. 😀
