I am making a pale ale to try and find a mix of hops that are to my preference. I want a very simple malt palate to let the hops stand out. As my plan stands now, I am making a 5 gallon batch and I am going to use 6.5 lbs of Light liquid extract and 1 lb of crystal 30 to steep.
2 Questions:
1. Is this mix too over simplified? should I add more volume to the steeped grains or maybe other kinds of crystal malt? Or more malt extract?
2. Not sure if it matters but is there a light malt extract that you consider to be the best? Or the closest to delivering the same base malt effect as 2-row pale malt?
THANKS!!
