This past weekend I did my first AG w my 5 gal MT system. 9 gal kettle.
I did the pliny elder clone on here w a few changes.
I utilized 12 lbs of Marris instead of the 13.25 lbs of 2-row
and used 1.25 of sugar vs .75 lbs
Also I used C-60 instead of 40
I did that due to the limits on my MT.
I ended up mashing at 148-9 and had a pretty dang good brew house eff of about 72%.
I checked it last night and I'm down to 1.046 after 3 days from 1.075 and the flavor was actually dang good and aroma was great.
My question is how will utilizing the MO vs 2 row and the additional sugar effect the beer? I am assuming the sugar will dry it out a bit and the MO may add a bit more Malt flavor to it.
