Needed to clean house on remnants of grains from prior batches so that is why there are so many different types in this recipe. I am brewing this up
later today so I'll update as thing move along. Any and all suggestions, comments, etc. are appreciated since I just threw this together last night and honestly have no idea how it'll turn out. But hey! That's the beauty of homebrewing! Cheers!

interesting. i'd love to see how this comes out. looks really low on the hops for me.

Brewday got pushed back until this weekend due to life. I'll keep you posted. Cheers.

I'm sure you'll be fine on those hops - the biggest problem you have is if it comes out really good and you have to recreate that grain bill again ...

it looks like a strong one too

Brewed it up this past Saturday and hit 1.068 for my OG so it may not come out quite as high in the abv as I initially thought, but I'm okay with that.

Damn it..........it turned out great. Finished off at 1.016 so abv is about 6.8%. Highly recommend giving this a go. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1501108242.600148.jpg
