Oh, great. There's plenty of Vienna and some Munich. Now I'm real curious how this will turn out.

Are there specific malts that give off more melanoidin than others?

Thanks for the warning. Not too sure if I or anyone is going to like the ink taste. Hopefully the pumpkin and spices will drown it out, although I never go heavy on the spice. I'll do a little tasting when I tranfer to the carboys.

Thanks for the info. Darker is ok. I did notic quite a bit of darkening. Caramel notes is nice too, but if it comes out even better than I hoped, I'll have to repeat this process again. Not looking forward to that. Lol

I'm a little new to using Brewer's Friend and this is my first post, although I have been brewing for about 4 years. My likes are high ABV ales and stouts. Unitl Brewer's Friend, I had no idea that my efficiency was areound 50%. All I knew was that I wasn't hitting my target OGs at pitch time...
