I just finished a batch I have been working on, this is the 3rd batch, each time I play a little more with the recipe... Man it came out hard I bumped my steeping, "crystal 20 to crystal 40, kept the same volume of 1 pound...
It's a pale ale which I plan on entering in competition... Good thing the lines between amber and a pale ale are blurred...
I think I need to bump the crystal 40 back to 3/4 of a pound, or go with .5 pound of 20L and .5 lb of 40L. Which would you guys suggest?
I also want more carbonation so this time in going from 3/4 cup corn sugar to 1 cup.... I know, I know I need to get a scale... Next trip to the store... I spend enough there already.
Also, this batch was probably the smoothest batch I have ever done. The only part that takes me for ever and is not very nice... I need to build a counterflow chiller... Next batch or the batch after that I'll fork out the cash for supplies.
