So I am putting together and extra high IPA recipe... I have most of my plans worked out except for my grain bill... it'll be a 6G batch. here is my probably grain bill:
28.5 lbs 2-row
1 lb Caramel Munich appx 56 SRM
.5 lb carapils
2 lbs corn sugar (half after fermentation slows down with a second yeast)
planning to mash at 147F for 120mins to get highly fermentable wort due to the huge grain bill for the size batch
so the question:
Should I leave out the carapils or am I thinking correct that I'll need a little head retention help with the high ABV plus corn sugar?
If I do keep the carapils in it with the long low mash do I need to add to the mash late to keep the enzymes from breaking down the carapils too much?
