I've put together a Blonde Ale recipe that i'd like some feedback on. I wanted it to have some backbone but let me know if this is too much....
5# Extra Light DME
8oz Carapils (steeped 25min)
4oz Crystal 10L (steeped 25 min)
4oz Belgian Biscuit Malt (steeped 25 min)
4oz Gambrinus Honey Malt (steeped 25 min)
1oz Cascape (60min)
.5oz Willamette (5min)
1 Whirlfloc tab (15 min)
comes to about 26 ibu's and 5.1%. Is this too much malt for a blonde though? I'm trying to get some BMC people into craft beer. Figured this would be a gateway.
