While I was home for the holidays, I had ordered two batches worth of grains, for a Nut Brown (which I'm ready to bottle today) and an oatmeal stout (which I'll be brewing soon, hopefully before Wednesday) - both partial mashes.
Well, when I went to pick up the order, it turned out they had combined all the grains (minus the flaked oats) into one big bag. Obviously, I couldn't use that, so he re-ordered my grains, and specified that they all be separate.
So, it finally arrived, and I picked it up. The HBS owner told me I could have the original combined order, for free, since he can't do anything with it.
So, dividing the contents by two (and understanding that it probably isn't mixed uniformly) I have two batches worth of:
- 2 lbs two-row
- 12 oz crystal 60
- 8 oz chocolate malt
- 4 oz victory malt
- 4 oz roasted barley
I'd plan on supplementing this with 4 lbs of light DME, which, according to Beer Calculus, will give me an OG of 1.056.
So, what would this give me, and what would you do for hops? I imagine it would be something between a brown and a stout, so probably a porter, right?
