i would combine the 25 15 and 10 into one addition, maybe at 15. and bump the crystal up to 1 lb.
What is carahell? It sounds cool; I say use it.
carahell imparts a fuller rounder flavor and deep color
Thanks Speed. What’s the benefit of combining them all to one addition as opposed to spreading them out?
i guess they are so close together that you probably won’t notice any difference one way or another. i just like to add my flavor additions at15 and aroma at flameout. K.I.S.S.
Looks pretty good. Keep your crystal at 1/2 lb, and lower your sugar to .75 or 1 lb. You don’t want a thin beer. I don’t know much about Zythos, but maybe skip the 25 minute addition.
