So, I want to make a simple recipe to really get to taste my Caraaroma. I've used it in my porter several times, and it turned out great, but I feel like it was hard to pinpoint the actual flavor of the Caraaroma, so I want to make something where that is practically the only predominant flavor. I'm thinking something like:
9# Pale Ale (Weyermann)
1# Caraaroma
I also have CaraAmber (25 L), Caramunch (50 L) and Carafa 1 (Chocolate).
What do you think I should do for hops? What IBU's should I go for to get a malt-first-hops-second kinda flavor?
I use Galena as the bittering hop, but for the flavoring hop I have available:
Columbus
Willamette
UK Golding
Which do you think would be best? Or do I even want a flavoring hop at all? Maybe do the Irish-Red thing and have no flavoring hops??
I live in Ecuador, S.America, so what I have is what I have. If you suggest anything else, you'll just frustrate me!
