So I am new to brewing (only four batches ). This time I created my own recipe, based off help from Beersmith software. i was wondering if a beer can ever have too much flavor or if i am putting too much flavor into my recipe? Should I use some ingredients that wont have too much effect on the flavor I am going for?
My current recipe for a scotch ale (90 min boil):
1. Steep using- 1.5 lb roasted barley, .5 lb chocalte malt, .5 lb smoked malt, .5lb victory
2.
-2 lb amber extract @ 90 min
- 1 oz Williamette Hops for a first wort hop @80 min
- 2 lb amber extract for a late extract addition @40 min
- 6 lb pale otter pale malt extract for another late additon @ 30 min
- .3 lb brown sugar @ 20 min
- kent goldings uk hops @ (flame out)
If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I think I am getting a little fancy and into the flavor descriptions I have read online.
