Trying my second all-grain, so practicing my technique is more important than the actual brew on this one. So I'm going to use up some left over specialty grains. This is what I have so far:
6.4 oz Caramel Malt - 40L (Briess) (40.0 SRM) Grain 3.81 %
2.2 oz Caramel Malt - 80L (Cargill) (80.0 SRM) Grain 1.33 %
8.0 oz Honey Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 4.77 %
4.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 2.38 %
3.2 oz Caramunich Malt (56.0 SRM) Grain 1.91 %
1.50 oz Tettnang [4.50 %] (60 min) Hops 21.9 IBU
0.80 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] (10 min) Hops 8.0 IBU
0.65 oz Challenger [7.50 %] (10 min) Hops 5.7 IBU
It feels like an amber-ish beer (BU:GU ratio is somewhere in the ESB range with about 9# of base malt) or APA.
So, do I go with 2-row and 1056? Or Maris Otter and something like 1098? What do you think?
