After brewing other peoples recipes and finding a few favourites for a year and a half I'm ready to start working on a recipe of my own.
I don't pay too much attention to different malts but have a bit of an understanding of the hop characteristics. Please don't take the piss, I am not asking to tear this one apart but just tell me if I am going to waste 5 hours and $40. If this looks a reasonable starting point then I am happy to work on it from there.
I am pretty much over the big hoppy APA's and IPA's and am after something with a bit more of a malty profile, I like a caramely sweet malt so am looking for biscuity caramel with enough hops to give it some complexity and balance out the malt. Something relatively simple to tweak moving forward.
I'm planning to mash at 68 to get it sweet, can afford to sacrifice some FG.
