10 Shades?? How's this for a Stout?!

[WishboneBrewery]

Just an idea at the moment but I've ordered the Amber, Mild and Brown Malts for experimentation whether or not they make it into this recipe is another matter

OOh another 10 Grain Brew, I have no doubt it will be mighty fine.

Was that a 10 you did minus the Roasted barley?

Wouldn't be it be more obvious what effect these malts have if you substituted the MO for each in turn? So what you do is formulate a brew with MO, speciality grains and hop schedule, brew it, swap MO for amber, brew it etc...That way you're only changing one thing at a time.

Thats a fair point, the Amber is also destined for a Caledonian Porter from the GW book that reads like its going to taste good.

Doing some 75% Pale to 25% Amber with a single hop bittering and last 15mins, would teach me more I suppose.

Basically you need to make lots of beer. And then drink it

a brew a day for a week, then in 6 weeks I can do a side by side taste test
