You've got to remember that the less liquid and more diluted, the lighter it will be. This is 9L and at barrel strength, which is why it's so dark...but those things aside, you've only got 2 variables...amount of oak and ageing time :smile:

Just a pep talk Sam :))
The difference being a matter of opinion. I guess my opinion would be, ditching the sugar for all grain and attempting some long term ageing... :think:

Gave this a go today.
7.5kg corn ground to a coarse flour
1.9kg malted rye
2kg malted barley (pilsner)
Mashing out in the mash tun at 64.7 deg, will leave overnight.
