Hey all,
I had been trying to move from extract and steeping grains and so yesterday I finally went through with it and made my first partial mash. I used BeerSmith to calculate the OG and FG. BeerSmith, using 65% efficiency gave me an estimated OG of 1.080 of which I had 1.073. (Any tips on how to calculate efficiency would be appreciated for my next go around Haha) Overall, I'm just looking for some recipe tips, critiques, etc. Do you guys think I should dry hop with an extra oz. minimum to increase aroma? I'd appreciate any feedback. The recipe was an IPA style beer, and here are the ingredients:
6 lbs of LME
5 lbs of Pale Malt (2 Row)
1 lbs Crystal Malt 60 L
1 oz. Chinook Hops 75 Minutes
1 oz. Chinook Hops at 5 Minutes
1 oz. Chinooks Hops (Will Dry Hop for 10 Days)
Safale US-05
P.S. I made this using the BIAB sticky so thanks for the good info sir! Also, a shout out to WilsenBrewer who gave me good tips on crushing with a blender, since I don't have a mill as of yet.
