As I sample a bottle of barleywine from my first PG (2 months and needs more time) I am thinking about my next PG batch which will be next weekend.
The Plan:
5 gal 1.085ish IIPA
5 gal 1.050ish Dark Wheat
The Mash (45 min)
12lb 2 Row
12lb MO
1lb Crystal 40
No Neck IIPA
OG 1.085
Hop Schedule:
60 mins .75oz Warrior
60 mins .75oz Chinook
15 mins 1.0oz Citra
15 mins .75oz Galena
1 min 1.0oz Citra
1 min 1.0oz Willamette
dry hop .7oz Galena
dry hop 1.0oz Citra
dry hop 1.0oz Chinook
Yeast:
1098 from a batch of Cream Ale
As far as the Wheat, my wife likes the Blue Star Wheat clone from BYO so I'll be using that as a template. This is what I will have to focus most of my attention on...
Because I am still learning about this process I will have to play it by ear (or hydrometer) as far as what to expect from the lighter runnings.
Best case scenario:
Base wort of ~1.025 from lighter runnings
3.3lb Wheat LME
.5lb Carapils (capped)
.5lb Wheat Malt (capped)
.5lb Chocolate Malt (capped)
After collecting the first runnings from the 45 min mash I will add the Carapils, Wheat Malt, and Chocolate, mash for 30 minutes, then collect what I need for the wheat.
Hop Schedule:
60 min .5oz Nugget
15min .5oz Willamette
1min .5oz Willamette
Yeast:
S-05
Input?
