Hi All,
I custom created a recipe on Brewers Friend. For a two gallon extract IPA, is a half a pound of 10 Lovibond Caramel Crystal malt too much to steep with? I figured steeping efficiency would be around 25 percent since this will be my first recipe created from scratch. The overall ABV should be 6.2 percent for the recipe according to Brewers Friend.
The main fermentable is 3.15lbs of Maillard Malts - Gold extract. Final IBU is calculated at 58. I want a balanced beer but not sure if I will be using too much steeping grains to give a massive malty flavor.
Thank you in advance for your expertise!
