OK, I've got 3kg of smoked malt and need to bump it up a bit to get a decent gravity.
So I am thinking of:
3kg Rauchmalz
1kg pale ale malt
250g Caramünch
200g amber malt
I'm not sure about the amber malt. Will it overpower the smoke?
Obergäriges Rauchbier
Re: Obergäriges Rauchbier
Can't imagine that 200g of amber would make that much difference. If anything it would add a bit of "munich-ness" to the pale malt if you get what I mean. Obergariges? You're not using a lager yeast then?
Re: Obergäriges Rauchbier
Nope, can't lager it, I don't have a fridge. Well, obviously I have a fridge, but I don't have a spare one to ferment beer in.
You don't think amber and caramünch will be too caramelly then? I'm hoping the amber is more sort of toasty-biscuity.
