Planning to make a BGSA this weekend...wanted a little critique for the recipe I've created. I'll be using Wyeast 1388 and making a larger start (as per Mr. Malty calculations). My plan is to mash at 149F for 75 minutes. I've read different ideas about when to add the candi sugar...what do you...

Thanks guys, will be sticking with just the 4oz roasted barley and dropping the chocolate altogether.

Will definitely change the 30 minute addition to chinook, good idea. I'm gonna discard the chocolate and just stick with #0.25 roasted barley because I think those flavors are more in line with what I'm going for. How about throwing some carared in there with the c-80? Does anybody have...

Good point on the rice hulls as well, will definitely do that. I have some leftover from when I brewed Denny's...

I have been brewing for a couple years and recently made the switch to AG (this is my 8th or 9th brew). I've been brewing mostly recipes found on here or in books and am now starting to design my own recipes (this is my 3rd)...please critique this recipe. I'm looking for a smooth english amber...
