Both the MW and the dry hop plan sound good to me. Be good chance to learn which hop combo you prefer.

I also have something that says carafa III on it but I'm not sure if it's actually the dehusked type or not.

Look for the husk.

Looks like it would make a nice cup of pour-over.


Looks huskless from what I can tell in the picture, but not certain.

I need to look again to see if I can determine what I've got.

so just to be safe something like chocolate malt should have husks right?  I'm going to do a side by side.

i compared it to chocolate malt and I couldn't tell the difference so I decided to use the chocolate wheat.  even if there is a tiny bit of roast I don't think it will be an issue for me.

I remember listening to an English brewer on the BN give an ESB recipe and it called for a pinch of roasted barley for color so I think either way you are good.

I think a little RB in pale ales is actually pretty good.  adds a little something in the background.

Worked good for me here. All I got from it was color from what I remember.

yeah.  I'm thinking since chocolate wheat is even milder than RB that I'll be okay at 3 oz in a 10 gallon batch.

 

just an update to the recipe though...  I had less GP than I thought so I used 14 lbs of GP and 5.5 lbs of CMC US Pale Ale.  Now I'm nearly out of Pale Ale too.  I do have 10 lbs of optic but I'm also completely out of MO.  I guess I should get in on a grain group buy :P
