Hi all.
So, after brewing one batch from extract+steeping, according to a recipe I had no influence on, and then a couple of double-batches of SMaSH with different hops, I want to brew something that's a bit more aimed at my own taste. I've done some reading on different malts and hops, and I looked at some recipes.
I'm aiming toward a drinkable, light to medium-light body beer, not sweet but with malt character and not very bitter. I want it to be my end-of-summer beer - so it's gotta be light and summery but not plain, and it's gotta be done in a month, tops.
I found this page: https://byo.com/article/15-summertime-recipes/ I want to do something similar to the Rye Pale Ale (I'll paste the recipe in the second comment), but with a few basic changes:
I think I'll ditch the honey malt for more Victory malt, and I want to use all grain (I'll do BIAB) instead of extract (what malt would you recommend as the base?)
Any thoughts on this or any other suggestions would be appreciated.
