Bentleigh Brau Haus
Hi brewers i have been trying to brew up a similar beer to LCPA and had some belters and some average ones. ( note i am using up the left over grains and as such mixed results)
Anyway, my colour is spot on and with blind taste tests, mega drinkers cant taste the difference apart from "this is thicker, or creamy" and i agree, however i can pick mine as it lacks the hop impact etc.
My question is how do i lower this creamy thick body of my AG. I was thinking lower malt bill, mash temp?
(the pale ale malt was infact powells ale and the cara was based on using up my left overs eg had no wheat so used carawheat all in the interest of getting some space in the brew area - likewise hops, i understand this is not a perfect recipe but i am mostly interested in the reduction of body)
