Good morning and good brew day everyone. I'm getting ready to grind grain in a few minutes. I'm getting ready to do 13 gallons of Ordinary Bitter. This will be a split batch with different yeasts.
I am just playing around with different grains and I wanted to get some advice on their use.
Base malt will be 16# Maris Otter. Then I was thinking:
Munich 8oz
Black patent 4oz
Chocolate 4oz
Essentially, I dismissed the use of crystal since I wanted something less sweet but I wanted to bring SRM into the BJCP guidelines. This combo gives an SRM of 11 according to Beersmith where the guidelines specify 8 - 14 SRM.
Thoughts, comments, questions? Or does it seem alright?
