Well I'm brewing tomorrow. My first AG batch. I'm a little concerned about my recipe kit though. I thought it would come with more specific instructions, such as mash temps, sparge temps, etc. It's the B3 Belgian Pale Ale. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. If I don't hear from anyone I'm probably going to mash in at 155F and sparge at 168F.
They base their recipe on a 70% Mash efficiency (Haha I laugh at 70%).
Here are the ingredients (10 gallon batch):
20LB 2-Row
8oz Caramunich
8oz Special B
1LB Carapils
1LB Corn Sugar (For drying out)
2oz Perle Hops
2oz Mt Hood Hops
Beersmith corrected the grain bill for 70% efficiency and it's significantly smaller. I put the unedited MoreBeer recipe in beersmith and it said my OG was over 1.062 which is way over target. I'm wondering if there's something in my beersmith settings that's wrong or maybe I should just trust MoreBeer's recipe.
