Experimental Graff recipe. What do you all think?

[cavscout263]

Hello all! I am kind of new to formulating Graff recipes /beer in general. But I have been researching and wanting to design a Graff that is strong but easy to drink. Well I used beersmith 2 app. Here is what I have layer out so far. I plan making a mini biab batch. Bottle it with honey as the primer. Any input would be awesome.

Dang man, that's way more complicated then any graff I've ever made. If it's your first I'd recommend dialing it back a smidge. If you've done few Brandon-o recipe graffs, then hell yeah give it a shot. I'm a big fan of 2.5 gallon test batches.

What flavor exactly are you going for? My first impression is that you are confused about what you want and that there are way too many ingredients. 12 oz of smoked malt and 4 lbs of crystal malts would be a lot in almost any beer. Keep it simple, let the flavors of the basic ingredients be the center. The stronger you make it the longer it's going to take to mature. Look at how simple BrandonO's recipe is, and build off that.
