Shooting for a series of beers that step up gradually from a very Pale Ale to a rather big and burley Stout.
First recipe I am making up on my own, not sure how it will taste so I was thinking of maybe making a 2.5gal test batch to keep costs down in case its awful. So here goes. I'm going to call these the Otter series.
For 5.5 gal yield:
7lbs Marris Otter
1lb Crystal 20°L
.5lbs Victory
Mash 1.75qt/lb @ 154° for 60min
Batch Sparge @ 178° for 15 min
Collect 6.5gals wort
60 min boil
.50oz Warrior pellets - 60 mins
.25oz Cascade Pellets - 2 mins
EDIT:
Safale-05 @ 67* for 7 days
Additional fermentation: 2 weeks at room temperature (Diacetyl rest)
OG: 1.043
FG: 1.011 EDIT: Actual FG was 1.010
ABV:4.2
SRM: 7.9
IBU: 26.0
Anyone see anything blaringly wrong with this recipe?
