I need a little guidence here. :roll:

Does any one have any suggestions as to what would be good to add to a Dark Ale to improve it?
ie: hops, fermentables, any other adjuncts?



Cheers,

Matty

Try300-400gms of choc malt in boil for first half hour.Adds body and flavor and anice dark color.A good hb shop will crack it for you.About $6 akilo if you buy in bulk.

Try 500g dark malt, 500g light malt and 250-500g maltodextrin.
For hops 12-25g goldings or if you can get it brewisers CL80 finshing hops.
