Aromatic Malt

[wired247]

I was going through my grain stores and Ive got 6 lbs of 19L Aromatic Malt. I can't for the life of me remember what I bought it for.

Anyone got a good ale recipe to use this stuff up?

It makes for a pretty intense maltiness in a beer. For example, I use a paltry 1/4 lb. of it in a 10 gal batch of a Deschutes Mirror Pond clone. I think that it ends up being something like 1% of the grain bill, but it's enough to round out the beer so that it's closer to the famously balanced MP.

Only advice - use it sparingly unless you reeeeeallly like malty beers.

You familiar with Fred from Hair of the Dog?

This is an excellent clone recipe! But I think you could increase the Aromatic malt to 3lbs and you would get closer to the original.

Edit: Minus the chilis, of course.
