*Bump*

Brewing in a few hours and just wondering everyone's thoughts?

Lagers are honestly not my best known style but I don't really care for the coriander or orange peel. The recipe could be simplified a bit but honestly everything in there is in such small increments they won't really make much of a difference IMO.

 

[HuntsmanBrewing]

Great thanks, I am just looking for hints of the extras not any prominent flavouring from them.

 

[terrapinj]

you've got a lot of different malts but such small amounts they won't really impact much aside from a little color impact

what kind of flavor profile are you going for? in general a more simple recipe = a more drinkable beer

what style of lager are you trying to create?

the rice hulls are unecessary

 

[HuntsmanBrewing]

I'm looking for something easy drinking with a nice colour and some hints of the ingredients my wife and I enjoy being the orange and mild spice.
I don't mind dropping the rice hulls, and like I said I'm just looking for hints of the extras

 

[terrapinj]

partial mash or steeping only?

 

[HuntsmanBrewing]

Steep, 30 min at 155

 

[terrapinj]

6-8oz of aromatic malt would add some nice maltiness and add some red color, maybe a pound or 2 of some vienna malt as well

you could just extend the steep to 60min and perform a mini-mash to convert the vienna and aromatic

i wouldn't get too complex if you really want the spices in there, i can't comment on the spice additions/amounts

you prob won't notice much from 1/4oz EKG at 30min so either drop it or add it at 10 or 20min instead
