Hello all,
So I've done 2 extract reciepes now and I'm thinking for my next batch (and possibly couple of batches) that I want to play around with Smash recipes to get a feel for the different malts, hops, etc. Likewise, I'm also planning on doing smaller 2.5 gal or so BIAB batches for these to save some money, and also incase something goes severely wrong lol That said for my 3rd batch I was thinking of doing a Smash with Maris Otter and Falconer's Flight, and I guess my first question is would Maris Otter actually be a good choice for the base or should I just go with 2 row or something?
Additionally, I'm planning on using yeast that I harvested from my last brew which was a 5gal batch (again to save money). If I do the 2.5 gal BIAB batches can I still just pitch all the harvested yeast or do I need to somehow pitch only a portion of it?
