I'm designing a wee heavy recipe in the traditional style for this beer and had a couple questions. First the recipe:
5 Gallon batch
16# Golden Promise malt
1.5# Flaked Barley (for head retention)
.5# Roasted Barley
1.5 OZ Kent goldings @ 60 mins
1 OZ Kent goldings @ 30 mins
OG 1.093
IBU 31.5
BU:GU .336
Here's the plan and questions:
I'm going to take 1 gallon off the mash and boild that down for about an hour to 1 qt/1 pt. Overall I'm thinking a 2 hour boil starting with 7 gallons, does that sound about right?
From what I can gather, this process should give me the carmelly, malty flavor that this style represents. I might even take 2.5 gallons off the leftovers and make a small beer.
