Hi guys, was wondering if I could get some advice on a recipe I'm building. I'm still pretty new at this - this is my 5th brew in the partial mash (BIAB) method, and am fairly inexperienced using hops too.
The concept of this brew is a nice, warm caramel malt body, crystal clear burnt orange colour, with an earthy, spicy aroma, finished with oak and cinnamon.
I'm unsure about the late addition hops as any grassy flavours would be a poor fit, what I'm really looking for is the subtle undertones from these hops. With the oak and cinnamon, the qty and method are my best semi educated guess as I have never used them before. Regarding the clarity I plan on chilling the wort with ice packs (I think I can get it down to around 12 degrees) before racking to secondary.
Rusted Nail - American Amber (21L batch)
Fermantables
1 kg American 2-row
1 kg Crystal 60L
1.5 kg Amber DME
250g Carared
250g Munich Malt

20g Fuggles (15 min)

Flavour / Finings
