Here's what I ended up with: 1 lbs Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 1 10.6 % 4.2 oz Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM) Grain 2 2.8 % 6.4 oz Munich Malt (9.0 SRM)...

Wasn't sure about the flavor mixing with the hallertau, tetnang, and fuggle. Do all hops end up with the same bittering flavor when fully boiled, or maybe very subtle since they're all cooked out? I thought throwing in a random mix could really nasty up the beer, so I stuck with the small...

Didn't have access to additional hops. I split the hop additions up in quantity and times to stretch them out over the brew. Flavor was pretty good going into the fermentor. Dry hopping with cascade, hopefully it doesn't lack on the aroma. I brewed Sunday and left out the candi sugar...

Screenshot cut off the cacade dry hop. Also have some Hallertau, tetnang, and fuggle hops leftovers, but didn't see a spot to fit them in. How's it look?

Just cracked open the first bottle. Beer survived. Good with a dash of salt.:mug:

Just cracked open the first one. Jalapeño is much stronger than I expected. Barely even get a tomato flavor until the beer warms up a bit in the glass. Very heavy jalepeno aroma. Good with a dash of salt. Not a terrible beer. Think I may try this again and change up the grain bill to get a more...

This is what the final recipe looks like.

Yes, Belgian Dark Strong. "Grandmas Prune Cake", haven't added spices to the recipe app yet. Thanks for the help, will scale back the grains a bit.

I've tried adding top up water in the app, but its not adjusting my final volume and gravity.

Correct, its a 3 gallon biab.

Screwed up conversion on grain bill and have too much 2 row in my milled mix of grain. Realized after it was all mixed. Think I should cut the grain mix back to the total weight for the proper conversion so the gravity comes back to target? This mix is projected 13% abv, and I was aiming for...

This beer turned out good. I think the fast track to drinking it in the recipe keeps it short of becoming a really good beer. I think it will do really well over the next few weeks in the bottle.
