Another recipe for consideration/comments. :)
What I'm aiming for is a nice dark, chewy mild.
3.00 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (5.9 EBC) Grain 1 80.6 %
0.25 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (118.2 EBC) Grain 2 6.7 %
0.22 kg Chocolate Malt (886.5 EBC) Grain 3 5.9 %
0.15 kg Roasted Barley (591.0 EBC) Grain 4 4.0 %
0.10 kg Special B Malt (354.6 EBC) Grain 5 2.7 %
14.00 g Admiral [13.97 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 6 22.6 IBUs
9.00 g Goldings, East Kent [5.00 %] - Boil 10.0 Hop 7 1.7 IBUs
1.0 pkg British Ale Yeast (Mangrove Jack's #M07) Yeast 8 -
That should give a 3.2% beer with 24.3 IBUs (right at the top end of bitterness for a mild but that is intentional) and 49.2 EBC so pretty dark. Too hoppy? Too much going on in the grain bill?
