So if you wanted to brew an interesting and unique beer, but were limited to ONE base and ONE character malt from the list below, along with any SINGLE hop variety of your choice, what would you do? Fermented with neutral US05 yeast.
a) It's not a SMaSH, so a character malt must be included with your base, and it must have a noticeable contribution in your finished beer.
b) Single infusion mash, but you can manipulate temperature for desired body/sweetness.
c) You can also adjust water profile to highlight hops, malt, or go for a balanced profile.
d) If its good, I'm totally stealing your idea and brewing it.
BASE (at least 70%):
Maris Otter
Domestic Pale 2 Row
CHARACTER (up to 30%):
Pale Wheat
Chocolate
Black Patent
Peated Malt
Melanoidin
Victory
Munich
Rye
Carapils
Vienna
EDIT (02JUN2015): If your base or specialty of choice isn't on the list above, feel free to include it.
