I was looking for a brew to use up some leftover ingredients, as luck would have it this is the first recipe I looked at and I saw I've got pretty much everything to do a 1 Gallon batch with some minor substitutions (both my 3 Gal carboys are in use).
Malt:
1# 6 oz Organic 2-row
3.5 oz pilsner (to top off base grain since it was short)
3.2 oz Caraaroma
1.8 oz Carafoam
2 oz Munich (sub for melanoiden)
Hops:
0.325 oz German Hallertauer 5.4% AA FWH (used slightly more to use up my hop)
0.2 oz Cascade @ 30 min 5.3% AA
1/4 teaspoon Irish moss @ 15 min
3.3 oz honey @ Flameout
Yeast:
WL 004 Irish Ale made starter from washed batch and pitched @ high krausen.
It is fermenting like mad today!
O.G was 1.07, beer calc gave me 1.064 but the variable could be in the honey as there is no standard concentration, mine is from a farmer not the grocery store. I use the BIAB technique exclusively now (love it!) and used 1.5 Gal water to mash, boiled off perfectly, topped up with 400ml starter and had enough for an 8 oz cup of hot scotchie (wort post boil with shot of scotch added, very tasty!) Mash temp was low to start 144 F, heated up to 157 F, cooled and maintained 152-154 F.
