A few days ago I called in a recipe to my LHBS. It was supposed to be my Mamacita's Mexican Dunkel. Well, the 10-pound grain bill turned out to be 15 pounds - the guy at the shop mistakenly put 5 pounds (!) of Crystal in the mix. Here's what I have for grains:
3.5 lbs 6-row
2.5 lbs Munich Dark
2.5 lbs Crystal 10L
2.5 lbs Crystal 20L
1.5 lbs Flaked Corn
4 oz Carafa II
I'm wondering what I can make out of that grain bill! It's 12.75 pounds of grain. It will need to be very bitter to overcome all that crystal. Grain bill looks like it will make a kind of honey-toast flavor with a bit of chocolate from the Carafa.
Any recommendations?
