I am not good at the lighter bodied beers, but I have the following recipe that I have built, it is good but the middle is just a bit lacking in body IMHO.
Does anyone have a good suggesting on what to add?
Amount Item Type % or IBU
17.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 88.31 %
1.00 lb Melanoiden Malt (20.0 SRM) Grain 5.20 %
0.50 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 2.60 %
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) Grain 2.60 %
I mashed at 150 for 60min to get the attenuation up which was good because I hit 1.012.
I did use pacman which may have been too clean especially at the 62F I kept it at.
I hoped the Cara-Pils would add some but it is already 2.6%, should I go to flaked rye?
Maybe I'll just stick with the Imperial Ambers now that they are an official "type" now.
