This is my first attempt creating a recipe, and using Beersmith. I'd really appreciate some feedback.
I have 12lbs of Gold LME from Midwest that needs to be used, thought I'd do something big because I'm getting that extract twang in my lighter beers, not really my darker ones. This is a hacked attempt at a Surly Darkness AG recipe I found.. changed some things up, not sure for better or worse. Not really going for a clone, just something remotely similar & complex.
One major question, would the Gold LME work for this type of recipe?
