Hello all, working on my extract recipe for next brew day... looking for some insight. Haven't thought about the hops yet, just looking for the "base."
I'm thinking of going with the following:
5 gal batch, full volume boil.
.5 lb of crushed Carafa III and .5 lb Crystal 40L - steeped for 30 mins
9 lbs DME - light
1 lb corn sugar - to dry out a bit
2 packs SA-05 or make a Starter?
OG somewhere around 1.090.
Am I on the right track?
Looking for a nice dark color, slight roasty-ness with a bit of mouthfeel and going to make a hop bomb of a schedule to top it off.
Will the additional lb of corn sugar dry it out too much if I'm using SA-05?
