Notes
I brewed the original (called "The Cracker") in March, 2016. The taste is a little like Fat Tire, but not enough.
For this recipe I'm going to take a pound away from the 2-row and add 1lb of Munich malt to give it a bit more body. I'm also going to replace the Biscuit malt with Victory malt. Victory malt is 25-28L while Biscuit is 18-27L. I also think Victory is more like an American biscuit and the Biscuit Malt is more like an English biscuit, which is really a cracker.
In addition, I'm going to cut some of the C-80 -- that will help with the sweetness I believe.
The last step is to go to a thicker mash. The last batch I did a 1.5/qt per lb of grain. This time we'll do 1.375/qt per lb of grain.This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
