Hey all,
I am looking at brewing a series of almost identical SMaSH's in order to improve my techniques and learn a bit more in controlled circumstances.
I would also like this process to aide in my development of a simple, tasty "house" beer. With this in mind I want to use fairly affordable and readily available ingredients (ideally Australian), to make a pale ale style beer. A little less hop driven than an APA so malt character can be more easily discerned.
With this in mind, I am leaning towards using malt from JW, as well as a hop such as galaxy.
As I am very new to brewing, I am pretty unsure of which malt would be the best to use, but based on EBC and price, I have been considering Vienna, Trad Ale and Light Munich.
I would love to hear any opinions or thoughts.
Thanks in advance,
Tim.
