Notes

Interview with brewer:
http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/post1676/

This recipe is a loose follow to that recipe.

Some differences include:
-addition of torrified wheat as described in podcast in addition to smaller amount of rice syrup solids

  • using golden light candi syrup (morebeer $5.59 sale per 16oz.)
  • using a pound of caramel malt in substitution of crystal
  • using some full pint to help DP and also extend my higher grade malt inventories.
  • cutting back of syrup amounts by half
