Hey everyone,
I definitely need some suggestions here, but I'm trying to lay out a Christmas beer. Here's what I got so far:
Grains:
6.5 lb pilsner(52%)
3 lb vienna(24%)
1.5 lb munich(12%)
1 lb Dark candi sugar(8%)
8 oz aromatic(4%)
Hops:
.5 oz magnum(60 minutes)
.5 oz saaz(5 minutes)
IBU:23
Extras:
.5 oz fennel seed
2 tsp almond extract
I plan on mashing this high to retain body. I'm going to be making the belgian candi since I don't think it's worth buying it for the price they sell it at. Part of me wants to add spice, but I don't want it to take away from the malts.
Suggestions?
