Hello,
I am working on a new ( bet it was done before ) Rye Pale Ale recipe with all Simcoe hops ( crop 2017 ) and would like your thoughts.
I already have all the grains and I am more interested in how much Crystal malt to use.
The recipe looks like this until now: https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/512076/05-rye-pale-ale-simcoe
If anybody wants to read on the different grains from the recipe, it can be done on the following links:
Simpsons Malted Rye
Simpsons Golden Promise
Simpsons Premium English Caramalt
I feel like 8% of the " Premium English Caramalt " would not be too much in this recipe. Hopefully, it will nuance the colour, by adding a bit of orange hue to the beer and add honey sweetness to pair with the spiciness from rye and the piney/resiny notes from Simcoe.
Do you think I should reduce the amount to 5%?
Thank you for taking your time to read and go through this thread.
