I figured the special b would be something like that crystal 165 or whatever in their recipe. Does that grain bill look like it'll turn out tasty?

Its gonna be a bit light for lack of black patent. I estimate srm of about 41... which is very dark, but not black.

Does the color make any difference besides just what can be seen with your eyes?

flyfisherwes said:I messed something up. I don't know what at this point. But my OG was 1.080.... my target was 1.054.... I ended up with less wort than I expected so I guess I either had more evaporation than expected or didn't start with enough water. Should I top it off or leave it? Man that seems like a big difference though. I have exactly 5 gallons of wort in the fermenter. I'm confused as heck.
