Amount Item Type % or IBU
12.00 lb Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 71.64 %
1.00 lb Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM) Grain 5.97 %
0.50 lb Barley, Flaked (1.7 SRM) Grain 2.99 %

1.00 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00 %] (2 min) (AroHops -
0.25 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 10.0 min) Misc
1.50 lb Honey (1.0 SRM) Sugar 8.96 %
1.50 lb Sugar, Muscavado (25.0 SRM) Sugar 8.96 %

----------------------------
Single Infusion, Medium Body, Batch Sparge
Step Time Name Description Step Temp
60 min Mash In Add 4.30 gal of water at 170.1 F 154.0 F
For such a big mash, I could barely fit this in my 10-gal Rubbermaid cooler, and my actually efficiency was a bit lower too.
Initially aroma was very malty... too much so. That did mellow after a few months of conditioning. After 5 months in the keg, this was a decent ale which would have gone faster, except for the 9% ABV... It sneaks up on you fast.
On my next attempt, I will back down the Aromatic malt by 25%-50%... to reduce the heavy raisin/malt aroma/taste, and probably bring the honey & muscovado sugar down to 1# each. That also leaves some room for upping the bittering hops a tad, to balance the ratio a bit.
