I'm brewing more or less your version today without the Munich and Melanoidin that I used in my comp entry - however I have some malts that need using up, how do you reckon it would go with 4kg of BB Pale Pilsener plus 500g Golden Promise? I've heard of people doing Coopers attempts with pilsener malt. Also for the wheat, which I haven't got in stock, I'm doing precisely what I do with polenta and using some semolina as an adjunct, gelatinised first of course :icon_cheers:
PS I used some semolina in a CAP that's currently fermenting because the D.I.L. flogged half of my last pack of polenta to make some Italian concoction. What a waste of good polenta . The wort turned out lovely and clear.
Sorry Bribie I missed this completely, obviously it's too late for my thoughts on this brew but I will give them to you anyway.
Your changes will produce a nice beer I think, the Golden promise should help to adjust the slight color loss using the Pilsner malt as a base. I can't really comment too much on the semolina but considering it's made from Durum wheat I can't really see it would be a major problem, except it's not malted.
I'd be interested to hear how this turns out and what if any flavour contributions the semolina makes.
It won't be the same as my recipe but you'd think it would be in the ball park.
Cheers
