Brewing up an IPA tomorrow, recipe calls for 1lb Crystal 40L (steeping grains), but I'm trying to finish off some leftover grains that I have so I'm going to use .25lbs of Crystal 80 and 0.6lb of Crystal 120.
Other than obviously being darker, probably outside style guidelines (not worried about that) would there be a huge difference in expected flavor? I haven't played around with my own recipes very much so I'm just wondering if I'm drastically changing something that I'm not thinking about.
I'll just throw them in when I start to heat up my water and steep them for 20min or until my water hits 170 or so.
Thanks for any advice!
