Because we can never have too many right? Just thought I would post my results for everyone to learn from.
The recipe
7.5 lbs marris otter
1oz. Fuggles (60min)
.5oz Fuggles (20min)
.5oz Fuggles (0min)
Mash temp of 155 deg. knowing that it would drop fairly quickly in my cold garage, had to play with the temp a couple times.
This was intended to be a 4 gal. since it can sometimes take me a while to finish a full 5 gal keg by (mostly) myself and I want to brew more. I used the iBrewmaster application to work up the recipe and do some of the calculations.
est OG 1.042 at an estimated 70% efficiency
Although I had planned to account for grain absorbtion and thought i had done the math right, as I typed it all out I discovered I did not. After rinsing my grains with water and realising the volume didnt look right, I added about 1 to 1.5 gal. of water to bring the volume up and gravily down. Not sure how that will affect the beer.
my post boil OG was 1.051 instead
Overall I thought it went pretty well, and I had a lot of fun using my new toys on this brew.
