I am putting together an IPA recipe and need some more colour. my base malt is marris otter @5kg I was wanting to use this alone but going of the BS EBC colour for the style it is to light with this grain alone. I was playing around and added some munich malt @ .6kg and (17ebc) and also some vienna malt @.3 and (6.9ebc) This brings the predicted colour in at 12ebc and the minimum for the style says 11.8ebc.
So I guess I am asking do I need to add these or should I add something else or is it really that important to get the colour up and just stick with the marris otter alone ????
Some advise or comments on what you my do in your brews would be appreciated.
Also I am looking at using warrior as my bittering hop then simcoe and mosaic for flavour/Aroma I am using 25 grams simcoe and 20 grams mosaic this gives me 59.9IBU's not sure if this pairing works or I should go for something else .
Thanks.
