IPA is my spirit animal
So the question is how much does 1% really add to a recipe? I have a recipie that uses more that 3 ingredients of 1% or less. Just wondering if you could even taste this in a 5 gal recipe.
My personal take on this is that with the exception of extremely strongly flavored ingredients, like black patent, peat smoked malt, etc. if that it would be extremely difficult to perceive (although you might in aggregate, as mentioned). I steer clear of recipes with tiny quantities of specialty grains. For most, 1/2 lb is about as low as I will go. Unless your LHBS sells grains in ounce increments, it is just not very frugal to brew that way (for me at least).
