New Here,
Been following the boards and doing plenty of research. I helped friends brew and i did my own extract brew. I intend to do a partial mash on my stove top and was hoping that you might see something that I do not. SO help me fill in the gaps I am missing.
Recipe: (i used hopville Brew Calculus)
Oatmeal Stout. 4.5 Gallons
% LB OZ
40% 3 ~ Briess Amber DME Boil
27% 2 ~ Briess 2 Row Brewers Malt
13% 1 ~ Flaked Oats
7% ~ 8 Briess Organic Chocolate Malt
7% ~ 8 Briess Caramel Munich 60L
7% ~ 8 Black Malt
Method
-Bring 1.5 Gallons of water to ~ 153 degrees
- Slowly add grains in a nylon bag
- place lid on pot and place in a preheated oven (170, turned off). Leave alone for one hour.
- Bring 1.5 gallons of water in a second pot to ~170 degrees
- Remove Mash from oven
- Remove grain bag from mash and place into second pot. Let soak for 10 minutes.
I am most confused about this part. Should I soak the grain bag, or try to do a batch sparge and pour the water over the grain bag? Or some other method
-Discard grains, combine wort. Bring to boil and add hops. ( 2oz new zealand Fuggle)
- Add DME in the last 15 minutes of boil. Total boil time: 60 minutes
- Cool down to 70 degrees
- Put to carboy, add top off water to desired amount. To 4.5 gallons to prevent overflow during fermentation.
- Pitch London Ale Yeast.
What do you think? I am not following any exact recipe. Does it look okay? Method Look okay?
Cheers!
