I'm looking for some guidance. This is my first attempt at a recipe. The recipe is partially inspired by Bell's Amber and Fat Tire. However, I'm really not trying to replicate either.
My goal here is mainly to keep my recipe but to put it out there in case it needs some tweaking.
Am I going to get too much nose from the hops at the end of the boil?
Do I have enough Crystal?
Am I wasting my time with just steeping the Munich and Victory and need to step up to a mini-mash?
And of course anything else that looks like a problem is open for debate.
