Hey folks. I'm messing around with beersmith and my goal started out as making something along the lines of a maibock, but as an ale. I've looked at a few recipes and i'm pulling from a few different ones, and throwing in a little here and there to achieve the color i'm looking for based mostly on what i have on hand. It may be a bit of a frankenbeer, but as long as its tasty fairly balanced and makes me feel much more attractive than i am, i'll be able to sleep at night. I'm wondering if anyone who may have a knack for looking at a recipe and seeing its potential could tell me if there's anything blatant that stands out as a no no (I selected the mash profile arbitrarily just because its supposed to give a medium body (according to beer smith). May not be the best method). Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions, assistance, or euthanasia that you can provide!
