I've got a brown ale that I've done that is great, but the color was way off (too light) at around 13 SRM. Without changing anything else in the recipe, if I boost the chocolate malt from .25 lb to .40 lb I get the exact color I'm looking for.
Is this a dangerous technique? Will it add too much roastiness to the brew? All I want is a deeper brown color. Thanks!
Grist:
7lb 2 Row
.5lb Honey Malt
.5lb Caramel 60
.5lb Flaked Oats
.25 Chocolate Malt
1lb honey
