Hey all, wanting to brew a big one to be ready for Christmas time, wondering what you think about what I have. (I'm still kinda new)
10 lbs xldme
6 lbs gold lme
1 lb victory malt
8 oz Carmel 80L
2 oz warrior (90 min)
1.5 oz centennial (60 min)
1.5 oz centennial (10 min)
11 grams Nottingham dry
My plan is to add 3 lbs dime up front and the rest of the malts at 10 mins or so, to avoid darkening and get the most out of my hops. I'll leave it in primary for a month and then rack into secondary for some bulk aging unroll probably August, then bottle and let it cold condition until the holidays. What do ya think? One of my big questions is also if I will need to repurchase more yeast at bottling time because of the abv?
