22% Cara Ruby? That is a lot. Will it be too toffee like?

I think I'll review this, it's the first time I use this malt and this recipe, I used it to reach EBC,...

I would back the CaraRuby down to 10% or so (considering the other ingredients you have in there) and then add Carafa Special or Black Patent (debittered black malts) to get your color back up into the range that you want it to be.

A coffee grinder for the Carafa Special will help get that colour in there.
