My recipe's already pretty set (already got the grain), but here's what it looks like before and after the LHBS:
Apple Pie Ale (Brown Ale)
7 lbs Maris Otter
2 lbs Victory
1.5 lbs Crystal 60
0.25 lbs Chocolate
0.1 lbs Roasted Barley
1 oz Goldings @ 60
1 oz Goldings @ 15
Irish Moss @ 15
4 oz Apples @ 0
4 fl.oz Boiled Cider @ 0
1 gal Cider @ secondary
I made sure to get an extra oz of goldings for bittering in case my efficiency is good...
After the LHBS, I got 2 lbs of Vienna instead of Victory (they didn't have Victory or Biscuit). I'm now thinking of toasting 2 lbs of my Maris Otter because I want a nutty/biscuity flavor in the background.
BeerSmith2 estimates:
Mash Eff: 70.6%
OG 1.054 (including cider & apples, but not the boiled cider)
IBU 21.2
Color 19.1 SRM
ABV 5.7%
Thoughts? Am I setting myself up for anything?
