I ordered ingredients for a winter saison recipe I found on the homebrewers association website. Grain bill called for:
11.5 lb Belgian pilsner malt
.6 lb crystal120L
1 lb Munich malt
.4 lb Vienna malt
.4 lb wheat malt
.25 lb carafa malt
.5 turbinado sugar (not a grain I know)
5.5 gal batch
As I was ordering, I was also finishing a nice Belgian Abbey that weighed in at 10 percent ABV… I inadvertently ordered carafa special 2 instead. Will this have a significant impact on the finished beer with just a quarter pound or is it mainly going to add color? I haven’t used either grains before.
