Hello all, this is my first post and also my first all-grain recipe. I've brewed several extract + steeping recipes so now I'm ready to make the jump. Just this week I constructed the 10 gallon, round cooler/mash tun found in the DIY section so I will be using it and batch sparging. I have a recipe that I have designed so I have two questions:
1. Does this look like a good recipe?
2. I use spring water to brew with so will my specialty grains alone allow me to reach the proper pH or should I treat the water? I'm still searching online for the pH of Publix spring water online so unfortunately I don't have that yet. I do know that is has: Micron Filtration, Ultra Violet Light, and Ozone treatments.
My grain bill is:
8.0# - 2 row malt (67%)
1.5# - Flaked Oats (13%)
1.0# - Smoked Malt (8%)
1.0# - Chocolate 350L (8%)
0.5# - Coffee Malt (4%)
