Morning all
Am about to put this down and was hoping for a few thoughts from you all.
This is my first time using brewmate and using specialty grains.
Robust Porter
Dry Malt Extract - Light - 2.5 kg
Caramunich 1 - 0.5 kg
Crystal Dark (not in brewmate so I used Crystal 90) - 0.5 kg
Black Malt - 0.2 kg
Carapils - 0.2 kg
35g Fuggles Flowers (7.7%) 60 min boiling
10g Fuggles Flowers (7.7%) 15 min from flame out
Flowers aren't in brewmate either, had a quick google which suggests that dried flowers are about 10% less potent. Not convinced it'll matter too much in this case.
Safale SO4
OG - 1061
Projected FG - 1015
%Alc - 6%
38.4 IBU
Am I adding too much crystal? I don't want a really acrid flavour from the Black Malt, have I used little enough to aviod it?
Any input would be much appreciated guys.
Cheers,
Jords
