I have no pale malt left at the moment. Thinking of adding a bit of brown malt for colour and body. Unsure if my idea and the malts are heading towards the same thing. I have these malts + choc/roasted too but can't see them working in the recipe but open to ideas.

Pilsner Malt 5.00 kg
CaraMunich 1 0.50 kg
Wheat Malt 0.50 kg
Brown Malt 0.10 kg

mash 67c for 60 mins

chinook 30g @30
chinook 20g @5
centennial 30g @0

dry hop centennial 2g/l 2-3 days.

US-05

IBU 60.9
ABV 6%

no chill
 
Don't use brown... it's just not the right flavour. I used a bit in a pale ale a while ago and should have used amber or victory instead.

It is however delicious in a porter balanced with cara-aroma for e.g.... just not a pale ale/IPA.
 
Most of my ipas are pilsner/wheat/crystal and mashed low and hopped high i hate a chewy malty ipa dry and hoppy is how i likr mine
 
Drop the brown malt, reduce the Caramunich to 250g and you have a decent malt bill for a pale ale.
