Changed up the recipe a bit to see what happens, most notably changed the proportions of different grains, and actually doubled my dry malt in an attempt to boost the alcohol content...
And I royally screwed up the brewing.
It boils for about an hour with all the ingredients, and about 40 minutes in I realized I forgot to add all the malt, wet and dry.
Ugh.
Added the malt, let it boil another 25 minutes, and we will see what happens. There are a lot of chemical things that happen during brew day, I know they exist and don't know what specifically they all are... so hopefully I didn't underprocess my maltose in some way which will lead to a blowout of my fermenter tonight. I heard they are a huge mess to clean up.
