Okay, so yesterday I got a hair up my nose to brew an All Grain pale. Puchased 9 lbs of malt (8.2 lbs of American Pale, 3/4 lb 40L Crystal).
Then, I actually started watching youtube videos on how to AG brew and realized that I am grossly underprepared and probably won't be able to secure the needed equipment before the grains go bad.
So, big question: can I use these grains in this quantity in conjunction with 5lbs of American Pale malt extract? Or, to put it another way, I'm sure I can do it, but what will the effect on the beer be? Crazy strong pale flavor? Is there an extract that I can use which will make a wonderfully different type of variety?
