Default Thursday already? Guess it's a good time to brew!

It's a beautiful day out today!

Started this last night...


And today my buddies are coming over to brew up a batch of 80 Schilling put together custom for us by Tim at What Ale's Ya here in Phoenix...

We're attempting a partial mash for the first time!

During brewing, we will be drinking Leinekugel's Fireside Nut Brown and Fireside Walker's DBA...might even dip into the New Belgium Lips of Faith series if we're feeling adventurous!

more pics to follow...

No problem...Here you go

80 Schilling Ale

7.5lbs Pale Malt Extract Syrup
16 oz. Crystal 55 Malt
8 oz. Crystal 10 Malt
4 oz. Amber Malt
2 oz. Crystal 120 Malt
1 oz. Peat Malt
1 oz. Golding Hops (5.5% AA-60min) bittering
1/2 oz. Fuggle hops (4.5% AA-15min) flavoring
Scottish Ale Yeast (WLP028 Edingburgh Ale Yeast)

*Optional*
16 oz. Munich Malt (for more malt flavor)
8 oz. Flaked Barley (for creamier body)

Partial mash 3#6oz. of grain in 1.2gallons of water @148-152degF (strike at 156) for 45-60min

Sparge 1 1/2 gallon (175degF)

Stir in Malt Extract and bring to boil
After the "Hot Break" add the Bittering Hops and continue to boil
After 45 minutes add the Flavoring Hops and a teaspoon of Irish Moss (optional)
Boil for 15 more minutes then cool to 70 to 75degF
Transfer to Primary Fermenter with 3 gallons of water (we did full boil)
Pitch yeast
Aerate
Ferment between 65-75degF for 7 days or until fermentation is complete
Rack to secondary and age for 7 days
Bottle with 1 1/4 cups Light DME and age 2-4 weeks

We will be transfering to a 5gallon keg for our secondary then force carbonating at 30psi for 4 days...

O.G. 1.050-1.052
F.G. 1.012-1.016
4.8%-5.2% ABV
SRM=12.5
IBU=20

Our O.G. was 1.060 (it was a little off because of we added the optional Munich Malt and Flaked Barley)

Here's a picture timeline of our day...


Boiling up the water and hanging out in the back yard


Partial Mashing the Grains, we burnt the grain bag because it touched the pickup tube


Sparging....You never forget your first time...


The Master Brewchef hard at work helping chill down the wort...We had a 25ft 1/2" prechiller flowing into a 25ft 3/8" immersion chiller...My 2 year old son had fun shaking the prechiller in the icewater...


Our little yeasties after 18 hours on the stir plate...


Pitching the yeast into 73degF wort


And here it is hanging out in my closet at a cozy 74degF bubbling away

I want to get into partial mash in the coming year myself. And the fireside nut brown goes great with my wife's pecan pie! Not to mention,Harpoon's Winter Warmer goes great with toll house cookies!

we racked in to secondary yesterday after crashing it for 2 days in the kegerator...

final gravity dropped to 1.020 which calculated out to 5.3%abv

now it sits for two more weeks then we'll put it on the gas!

I'm looking at the recipe wondering what is making it a partial mash... maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any base malt. The "optional" Munich can convert itself, but not the crystal. It looks like basic steeping grains.
