I'm trying to piece together a recipe for my first AG batch. I have an 8gal kettle, a 10 gal rubbermaid cooler, a 50ft X 3/8" SS chiller, a submersible pump and I'll be getting all of the proper tubing before I begin. However, since this is my first AG batch I want to make a simple recipe. I'm going for a SMaSH. I have beersmith, so I'm able to plug in my ingredients there, but I want some feedback from some of the more experienced AG brewers in this section.
Here is a recipe that I found. Most people in the thread it was posted in seem to agree it would make a good beer. I'm looking to do an IPA.
15lbs Maris Otter
1oz Centennial 75 minutes (FWH)
.5oz Centennial 60 minutes
.5oz Centennial 30 minutes
.5oz Centennial 15 minutes
.5oz Centennial 5 minutes
1oz Centennial Dry Hop
From what I've read Maris Otter is a maltier grain, so am I correct to assume I should mash at a lower temperature? I was thinking 152°F.
Also, does anyone have any tips for a first time AG brewer? Any and all help/critique will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
