So, I’ve been playing around with a recipe and I feel like it could be close, but I don’t have anything to compare it to. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
5 gallon batch
3 gallon boil
OG 1.058
FG 1.018
Abv 5.29%
IBU 27.95
Fermentables
6lb LME dark
1.5 DME dark
Steeping grains:
.5lb English extra dark crystal
1lb Fawcett pale chocolate Malt
Hops
1.5oz Cluster (60 min)
.3 oz Cluster (30 min)
4 oz cacao nibs for secondary
some vanilla at bottling?
The real thing states IBU’s at 28, OG 1.059, ABV 5%
I’m worried I may be using too much steeping grains, but the other numbers seem to look good to me. I’m trying to get that nice sweet chocolate taste, but I’m completely guessing on how to get there.
