Thanks for the feedback guys, finally, I decided not using the smoked malt. I didn't use the cararoma either, and I increased a bit Caramunich. I changed the yeast, I had one pkg of Nottingham yeast at home: All Grain, 9.2% 63% efficiency Batch Volume: 7.8 L Original Gravity: 1.096 Final...

That's right, yankinoz. So don't you think that the Caraaroma + Carafa+ Caramunich + Smoked Malt combination will result in a too much sweet beer? I was a bit worried about it. Planning to send it for a brewing competition and I was looking for something with a degree of complexity. And I have...

Hi guys, Probably silly question. I was planning to do a yeast starter for a strong pale ale (Original Gravity: 1.069) but in the last moment I realized I didn't have light DME, only wheat DME so finally I used that one. Now I am waiting a day or two but I am not sure if I can use the starter...

Hi guys, After 5 extract brews I am thinking to go for mini BIAB using the classic 19L pot. I have two recipes in mind, both all grain, that I want to convert to partial-mash. The recipes are, excluding the hops for simplicity: Recipe 1, from Zymurgy, 21L: - 3.6kg Maris Otter pale malt - 454g...
