Looks good, but not accurate

by ricardodomiciano

Brown malt comes in at mash, not Vorlauf (you can confirm this in Gordon's book). I brewed following these steps, and both OG and color was below expected, so I had to adjust it with DME and Carafa Special 3. Next time I'll mash in brown malt and add only crystal and chocolate at vorlauf. It's a promising recipe anyway!
