Hey all, I am a new brewer and I have a grain question. I bought almost all the ingredients for a recipe I found for Fat Tire that had the grainbill as:
8 lbs. 10 oz. (3.9 kg) 2-row pale malt
1 lb. (0.45 kg) Munich malt
6 oz. (170 g) Victory? malt
8 oz. (227 g) crystal malt (40? L)
2 oz. (57 g) pale chocolate malt
and then I signed up for BYO and found the recipe to include:
8.0 oz. (0.23 kg) crystal malt (80 ?L)
instead of the 40 L.
and none of the pale chocolate.
I already purchased the Pale Chocolate as Carafa Type I (300-375 lovibond) and was about to buy the crystal 40 as a sub for Munich Type II
but Beersmith puts the original recipe at 10.4 SRM instead of the 14 SRM the recipe states.
I'm wondering if I can simply use the Carafa Type I I have at 110g skip the 40L and increase the Munich I to 670g.
Would that result in a close clone or should I stick to the original recipe with 40L and pale chocolate? I don't have access to 80L here in Poland.
Thank you so much for your advice!
Cheers!
