Hey all.
Been a long time since I’ve posted on here. I’ve grown a lot over my first year as a home brewer but I also still have a lot to learn.
I work as a beerdender at a local brewery as a second job. I’ve been offered a position as a pilot batch brewer to supplement our tap list. The owner of said brewery is my best friends father (who has helped me a lot in my home brewing), and I’ve worked at this brewery since it has opened so I really don’t want to disappoint.
I plan on making a SMaSH West Coast style Pale ale for my inaugural brew. But I have not really done a SMaSH beer since switching to partial/full grain brewing. So my question is this:
Given the style I am going for, do I use something like Maris Otter to get some malty backbone or stick with 2-row to keep it very clean? I’m leaning towards Maris but I’m hesitating and just need some opinions. I plan on using Denali hops.
Thanks!
