Thanks. I've gone back and forth between 2 lbs and 1.5 lbs. I appreciate the tips. Also, this was purely American, then started leaning European as I read about the flavor/aroma profiles of the two hops I'm using.Yeah... that.^^^^^
Noble hops won't hurt a thing, but I think the recipe might be better with East Kent Goldings.
Also, 2 lbs of dark extract will leave a lot of residual sugars. I did a similar extract brown ale some time back and it was good but too sweet and "extract-y". Pale extract for fermentables and more steeping grains for color and character is a better way to get a good clean beer. That said, you won't hate the results by any means.![]()
