Just created an IPA from scratch that turned out very nicely but ended up having an SRM of 19 or 20 (dark vienna, light brown). It was a small batch (3 gallons net) and I used 3 lbs of Pale Ale Malt, 1 lb of flaked oats, 1/2 lb of Gambrinus Honey malt (20L), and 1/2 lb of Amber malt (25L).
I'm curious if I dwindle that Amber malt down to say, 1/4 lb, if it will make much difference. I'm looking to lighten it up by 4-6 points. It has a really good malt base, I don't want to change the flavor too much. ABV is about 6.5%.
