Fiddler's Elbow

Post by Buzz » Tue Nov 13, 2007 12:32 pm

I brewed the following recipe recently and transferred it to the secondary fermenter last night. I had a quick sample and was impressed with the flavour of the Styrian's but the colour was paler than the real thing (happened to have a bottle cracked open at the same time).

I was wondering, if I did this one again and added a small amount of crystal malt (say 300g)

1. would that be enough to add a bit of extra colour?
2. would it adversely effect the body and flavour?

The original recipe came from Norm's Real Ale Almanac conversion and I hopped it as per Styrian Stunner;

3355gm pale malt
840gm wheat malt
Mash: 90min @ 65deg
Boil: 90min
80g styrian goldings 3.3% 90 mins
16g styrian goldings 3.3% 15 mins

As a novice brewer, any thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

Thanks DaaB, I might give it a go next time. I'll make sure I bottle some of this brew and put it aside as it will be interesting to compare the flavours.
