This is kinda related to the step mashing thread, but I didn't want to highjack. I'm planning on making the Dogfish 90min IPA clone, because I was luckily able to order all the hops online!! The grainbill for a 5gal batch is 16.5lbs Pilsner malt and 1.66lbs Amber malt. The directions call for a step mash by mashing in at 122, then raising the temp to 149 until conversion is complete.
This will be my 5th All Grain, and I'm only using a 10gal cooler for a Mash Tun, so I'm not able to do a step mash. I'd like to try this one as a single infusion mash, but I'm unsure of the temperature. Seems like I should mash at 149, but won't this give me a beer without much sweetness? 90min is a pretty sweet beer to balance out the hops, so should I shoot for something higher? I was thinking somewhere like 154?
Any input is apprecaited. I'm still learning alot about AG. :rockin:
