Hey guys, any advise on the following recipe? I purchased a Newcastle clone from Northern brewer but I did some tinkering, substituting some Maris Otter for DME and changing it to PM. Also I changed the hops. the kit came with an ounce of Argentinian cascade for bittering, but EKG seemed a bit more appropriate for an English brown. and I'm throwing in a bit of fuggles at 5 minutes for a touch of aroma
3 lbs Maris Otter
.25 lbs crystal 60
.25 lbs. Simpsons Dark Crystal
.25 lbs. Chocolate Malt
.25 lbs. Weyermann CaraRed
I'm going to mash at 152 for 60 minutes with 1.25 gallons of strike water, and then do 2 1.25 gallon sparges, aiming to collect about 3 gallons of wort.
Boil:
6 lbs light LME
1 oz EKG 6.00 AA 60 min
Irish moss 15 min
.5 of Fuggles 5 min
Safale s-04 english ale yeast (2 week old yeast cake from an imperial red ale)
any thought or suggestions are welcome!
