The time has come for my 2nd AG. This time, going to take a crack at an EPA. I don't have a particular recipe. I just thought, with the help of this forum, I'd try to formulate something. I was considering using 9 or 10 lbs. of Marris Otter as the base malt and about .5 to 1 lb of 40L Crystal for the specialty grains. Might even throw in a few ounces of cara-pils. For my last batch (stout), I used el cheapo domestic 2-row pale and added the color and flavor with specialty grains, so I've never worked with MO. All else being equal (mashing methods, efficiency, etc.), does 1 lb. of MO yield essentially as much fermentables as 1 lb. domestic pale? I'm just not sure how the amount of unfermentables and dextrins in each compare. If anyone has any reccomendations for a base malt other than MO, or a combination of base malts, please share. Also, I'm open to any advice regarding hopping schedules for this style.
