Haven't tried this yet, interested if anyone's tried something similar:
10 # 2 row
1 # carapils
.5 # crystal 80
Cascade hops 1 oz. 60 min.
East kent .5 oz. 15 mins
East kent .5 oz. 5 mins
Yeast: Nottingham dry yeast
What do you think? Predictions on whether it will taste ok? I literally just built this beer with what I had on hand.
Note: I did have an efficiency problem. 1.040 OG that I attribute to too high a mash temp. Used DME and a healthy dose of corn sugar to reach 1.052, so I may be looking a thin beer with a low FG. My mash temp target was 150/151. Came out 155 or so. My grain must have been warmer than I had used to calculate strike water. Wasn't a PH or crack issue, had to be the temp.
Thoughts, predictions?
