After 4 years of brewing, I finally joined a club earlier this year. As luck would have it, they were about to hold their annual competition. This year's prize was to brew with a phenomenal local brewery on their system and to release your beer in their taproom. After three rounds, I won one and TECHNICALLY had the second-place overall score. However, first-place was held by a budding professional brewer who didn't feel right holding onto the prize for herself; that means I WON, even if by default [emoji28]
So, now I have a month or so to decide what I'll make with them. The brewers were very interested in making my beer that won the last round, as am I, but there was a general consensus it needed a little more. The beer is a Golden Promise and Mosaic SMaSH (a regular recipe of mine) that I finished with a pound of mixed berries toward the end of fermentation. Great hop profile, berries were clean and balanced, but the malt fell flat.
What malt would you guys add to that brew? I dont have all the vitals, but its something like 7% and 40-50 IBU, fairly dry. I'm considering a 5-10% C40 addition, as well as 5% honey malt.
Cheers!
