Hello,
I brewed yesterday and partigyled this:
First Mash at 153
14.5 lbs Golden Promise (Simpsons)
14.5 lbs Marris Otter (Crisp)
Resulted in 7 Gallons of wort at 1.092
I wanna go Golden Strong Ale with a Xmas twist...thinking of bringing the OG down by dilution.
By my rudimentary math knowledge of gravity, and please do tell me if I am wrong.
I have:
7 X 92 = 644 gravity points
add a pound of cane sugar (dryer finish) for 46 more points = 690 total points
and desired new gravity is 1.08 so....
690 / 8.6 Gallons = 80.2
Close enough,,,is this correct?
With 8.6 Gallons I'll split into two seperate carboys....Ferment one with Biere de Garde yeast 3725 from a yeast cake split in two, and the other I'll probably use Abbey ale 1214 (recently manufactured pack) from one liter starter...
Thinking of around 32 IBU's from Warrior hops (16% aa) 90 minute boil,,,,And 1 oz Nelson sauvin at 10 mins and again 1 oz at whirlpool.
Total 41 IBUs....
Really want that fruity nauture that the NS imparts....is this all copesthetic?
