I’m not brewing this this year, but I looked back for those that need to reduce the grain load for their system (ie Grainfather, etc.)
3 lbs. Amber DME
13.5 lbs. Maris Otter
1 lb Caramel 40
1 lb Munich I
7 oz Caramel 120
2 oz Roasted Barley
You brew on an electric system, right? There are probably several other electric brewers that would need a similar partial extract kit. Can you post your recipe as an all-electric option and see how many would be interested? Brewer Dude might want to put together an all-electric partial extract kit for the high gravity brews if there’s enough interest.
FYI – EKG, and English hops in general are hard to come by now, and almost certainly will be from the 2019 harvest. You may want to have a backup selection just in case

Looks good to me
I will need to sub some DME for the pale malt to fit my system. How should we communicate that to Brewer Dude for our kit?

I’m good with the recipe. I agree with Jason, need to get on the kits.
I hope this is the barrel I signed up for. Can’t remember!
Lock it in, and get Brewer Dude working on kits… I want to brew it ASAP! ?

Thought this recipe worked well in previous batches. I have no suggestions for modifications
