Hello,
I found the following recipe on beerrecipes.org and I wanted to give it a try... but I'm a fairly new brewer, (6 batches in,) and I have a question I was hoping someone could answer. The 1/2lb of crystal Malt.... at my LHBS they have Crystal 40, 60, ect.... but nothing that is pure Crystal. Which is this recipe referring to do you reckon? My understanding is that the crystal, as it increases by number, adds more flavour and colour... Do you think it would change the recipe much to leave out the crystal and add an extra 1/2lb of Pilsner? Thoughts?
5.5 lbs Wheat Malt
5.5 lbs 2-Row pilsner
.5 lbs Crystal Malt
.5 lbs Flaked Oats
2.5 lbs frozen raspberries
1 oz. Hallertau Hersbrucker
Wyeast 1056
Thanks for your help!
