I decided to have all the guys over while the gals hold my wife's baby shower. It was at this point that I realized I would not have enough beer to handle everyone. What's a brewer to do??
I took my newly developed Nut Brown recipe that I brewed as a 2.5 gal AG (tried it once and it tastes good to me) and modified the recipe for a Partial. Last night I brewed it and its bubbling strong. It needs to be ready for Sunday...I hope it tastes good young.
Here it is...let me know what you think!
Mash (2 gal BIAB cooler):
3 lb 2 row pale
1 lb special roast
0.5 lb chocolate
Mashed at 153F (or so) and did 2 batch sparges to get 3.5 gal at 1.036 (eff = 79%)
Boiled for 30 min (testing short boils) with a 30 min addition of 2.5 oz cascade. Added 2.75 lbs extra pale DME at 15 min (late addition method).
I topped off to 5 gallons and hit an OG of 1.049 (targeting 1.050).
I had wanted a fast fermentation and didn't have time for a starter so I had stopped at the LHBS for some ingredients and yeast. They were out of S-05, so I picked up a pack of Nottingham. I ended up using both my existing S-05 and the nottingham, so we'll see what that does!!
Anyway...its bubbling away like mad today and I hope its done fermenting by Friday so I have Saturday and Sunday to force carb it in the keg!!! Wish me luck!
