I thought I'd take a stab at creating a recipe from "whole cloth" - but I thought I should probably get feedback from more experienced brewers (99.9999999% of you out there), in case I was about to do something horribly wrong.
My intensions with this receipie are:
- Fairly simply base.
- Medium body.
- Smoked malt, which is to be the "showcase" flavor.
- Black patent for color.
- Caramel to add a little sweetness (to counterbalance the patent?), add a little ABV, and add a little body.
- Carafoam to help with creating a head.
- Mangum hops (on hand) for needed bittering, but not really for showcasing the hop; this is all about smoke.
So after tinkering with some online recipe calculators, and finally Beersmith, I came up with the recipe idea below.
Any feedback / suggestions are more than welcome.
