I generally take a recipe from a kit i liked and try tweaking to my own tastes. I almost always increase abv by 1-2% with the base malt and adjust hops for this. Now my question: About how much do i increase steeping grains for the abv change? I don't like a thin beer. Guessing if recipe calls for example: (Extract 2.5 gal.)
8 oz chocolate
4 oz victory
6 oz crystal 120
Maybe increase each by about 1 oz to try and retain 'similar' body and flavor? Too much, not enough ? Experimentation is my friend but roughly how much of an increase should I do?
Thanks!
