This is one style that I'm studying that I can't seem to get a hold of after reading books and a few articles online. What is a typical grain bill for this style?
From what I see, it can be
- about 60+% of your base malt (either 2 row or Maris Otter if you want a slightly more biscuit flavor)
- roasted barley (7% to 20%?)
- chocolate or black malt
- flaked barley for head retention/body
- perhaps some crystal
I just can't get a sense of the general "guidelines." Is this style just that undefined?
Just looking for a "base" that I can go off of and develop my recipe a little better.
