I've been going back and forth with a few things, such as whether to add wheat or not, how bitter I should make it (feel it's at the upper and right now) and how much chocolate malt to use. I'd like it to have a bit of a "bite", but not to get roasted or ashy.
Any final tips? 5kg Pilsner malt is a hard limit because that's all I've got, everything else can be bumped up quite a bit as needed. I would have liked to use Special B but am all out so I'm hoping Crystal 120 will kind of work as a substitute.
