This is a recipe I put together for my first high gravity beer:
Just got done hand-milling it; made a huge starter for it. Any suggestions to a n00b high gravity brewer? I only have a 10 gallon mash tun, and I think It'll be completely filled. I think I'm going to do a 90 minute boil and follow this mash schedule:
Strike Water Volume : 6.09 gallons
Strike Water Temperature : 166.7
First Running Volume : 3.75
Sparge Water Volume : 3.05 gallons
Sparge Water Temperature : 201.8
Collect: 6.8 gallons (I'm pretty sure I got .8 gallons of boil-off per hour).
Any tips? Comments on the hop schedule? This is semi-inspired from Pliny (mostly just the amount of FWH/Mash hops).
