I am not sure if this is the right place to post this. But I have been doing all grain brews for a while now, but always went by a recipe, whether it was a kit or a recipe I found on here. But I have been playing around with Beer Smith and trying to come up with an IPA recipe just using some stuff that I have left over. I started adding ingredients to the program and here is basically what I have:
11 Lbs 2 Row
1 Lbs Crystal 80L
.5 oz Citra 60 min
1 oz Citra 30 min
1 oz Cascade 10 min
1 oz Centenial 5 min
Dry hop with .5 oz Citra and 1 oz Centenial
My question is that I also have about 4 oz Honey malt in the fridge. Wondering if anyone has ever threw Honey Malt into an IPA? Don't know if it will matter much at such a small amount. But wondering if it would have any adverse effect on the bitter side of it? The bitter and sweet would somewhat counteract each other I assume? Just doesn't seem like an IPA is a great place for Honey, but wondering if it will hurt anything or make any kind of difference. I don't know what else I would use 4 oz of Honey Malt for in the near future and it would be better than throwing it out because it went stale. Anyone have any thoughts?
