deciphering unclear terms ( unclear to me that is)
The recipe Here:
http://www.beersmith.com/Recipes2/recipe_50.htm
It calls for a variety of things that I am unable to exactly identify:
These items are unidentified:
✔ 0.50 lb Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM) Grain5.00
✔ Hop Blend
"Hop Blend" is used 4 times with no references to what is meant by the term.
My best guess is that the pearle and liberty are mixed together and hopped in
The Pearle goes on solo once for 60 min
The Liberty goes in twice once for 45 min and once for 30 min
For the "Hop Blend" the two are combined ( I'm guessing 50/50 ratio~?) and added four times the final in his recipe is for ZERO minutes? That part about hopping for 0 minutes is a tad interesting. He calls it an "aroma hop-steep" Which tells me the hops go in when the heat is turned off. But do they get left in? Are they part of the sparge? I should think they don't stay but till they are well wetted.
I know what an aromatic malt is but, I would like to know which one is intended.
I'm thinking of 2 row American Briess 'cause it's kind of light. But the author doesn't say.
Any input would be appreciated.
