going to try my hand at this specialty style.
i have an 18lb grain bill which should get me to 1.093.
13lb pilsner
3lb two row0
1.5lb caravienne
.5lb aromatic.
i've done a stepped starter of wlp530. 2L, decant and then another 2L. ran an aquarium pump in the starter for both steps.
mash is going to be two step, 45mins at 146 and then 30mins at 155.
hops are all 15 and 10 minute additions of citra, simcoe and amarillo. comes out to about 90 IBU's
any tips/hints/questions? am i in the right neighborhood? should i consider a bitter addition or fwh? the idea was to stay closer to a tripel in style. wanted a hoppy tripel not an IPA fermented out with belgian yeast.
