Hope someone can help me with some lingering questions.
We re-brewed our version of our fest beer, based on 75% eff. (Recipe posted) below. We really hit a home run and ended up with near 89% efficiency, with our starting gravity at 1.070.
This is way out of style.
I feel that although this will be high abv, the grain bill,mash temps and lagering should still make it an outstanding beer.
Can you guys offer some thoughts on taste etc? What can we we expect? is their enough bittering hops etc to carry us through
Has anyone had this happen before.
Thanks in advance
