I posted this in the All Grain - Pliny the Elder' thread last week, but haven't received any responses so I thought I would post here hoping to get some validation or recommendations for the recipe. The original recipe in the thread is for five gallons so I divided everything in half for a 2.5 gallon batch as this is the largest batch size for which I can do a full boil and cool efficiently.
The all-grain recipe called for 12 lbs of 2-row, and later in the thread it was suggested to replace the 2-row with 7.2 lbs of DME for extract, so my 2.5 gallon extract modified recipe is as follows:
7.2 lbs pale DME12 pounds 2row
4oz Crystal 45 malt
4oz Carapils malt
6oz corn sugar added to boil
1.75oz Columbus hops @ 90 minutes
.375oz Columbus hops @ 45 minutes
.5oz Simcoe hops @ 30 minutes
.5oz Centennial hops @ 0 minutes
1.25oz Simcoe hops @ 0 minutes
.5oz Columbus dryhop
.5oz Simcoe dryhop
.5oz Centennial dryhop
add an additional .125 columbus, .125 simcoe, and .125 oz of cententennial to the dryhop after a week of adding the first dryhop addition
steep grain 30 minutes at 150; add 1/3 DME at beginning of boil; add remaining DME and corn sugar at flameout
us05 yeast
Does the recipe and process sound good? Would anyone do any thing differently?
I've never had Pliny before so I'm hoping this turns out to be the hop bomb that everybody says it is.
Thanks!
