I hope I didn't screw up!
This is only my second all grain/BIAB batch, so I am still pretty unfamiliar with my grains.
I wanted to make a blonde, but I also wanted to try chocolate malt. Hence the Dirty Blonde!
The issue is, I was plugging the recipe into my calculator. When I came to the Colorado Pale Ale Malt, that option wasn't available. So I used the color rating of 37, and found what Pale Ale Malt also had the same rating. It was a 6 row.
I now just have a hunch, that I was suppose to use a 2 row... Then again, this is just a guess though. I dont even know what the difference between the two are...
So did I screw up the flavor/style?
Here is the recipe. Any other comments/suggestions? Grain is already bought and milled together btw, but suggestions for next time are also welcome. I am subbing Safale US-05 for the yeast as well because my LHBS doesnt carry much liquid. Is that ok?
Thanks in advance!
8 oz American - Caramel / Crystal 60L 34 60 4.2%
10 oz American - Victory 34 28 5.3%
4 oz. American - Chocolate. 29 350 2.1%
10.5 lb Colorado Pale Ale Malt 37 2 88.4%
Subbed 10.5 lb Pale Ale Malt 6 Row?
0.4 oz Magnum 15 Boil 60 min
0.5 oz Crystal 4.3 Boil 10 min
