Hello.
I am trying to come up with a recipe using 100% Aromatic malts. I have a couple of questions.
1.) I want this to be about 73 IBUs. Not sure if I'm there because Beer Calculus in the worst brewing software in the world and NEVER accurate!
2.) I have never used aromatic malts before. Not sure what kind to buy but on rebelbrewer.com they have about 3 different kinds. Any idea which aromatic I should go with? OR maybe I can mix a couple different kinds?
3.) Beer calculus says this is @ 25* SRM. Is that really dark? I'm aiming for a reddish copper color I suppose. Three Floyds did a beer with 100% aromatic and it looked and tasted wonderful. That is the inspiration for this beer.
