Hey All,
So long story short, I went to a brewery in Gaylord Michigan last year and got a Red Bird Ale which was billed as a "very malty" beer...
It was AWESOME...
I'm not an IPA kinda guy - I like mildy-hopped beers with lots of flavor...
I'm preparing to delve into full-mashing and I want to make an attempt on a heavy-malt beer. Should I add a lot more base grain (probably amber,) or add more crystals (60L or so) to bring the caramel tones?
I appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Jeff
