Hey guys,
I want to do 4 * 1 gallon test batches (BIAB) swapping out several grains and hops. All of the batches share two ingredients:
My question is, could I mash these two and then steep the additional grains as I would for specialty grains in an extract recipe when I do my 4 separate boils? Or would I be missing a lot of body? I would imagine that the body I would be getting would not be from these low volumes/weights of grains, but mostly from the base malts. Here are my recipes (all mash at 158, all ferment on WY1187):
Sweet English Mild with Black Patent
Sweet English Mild with Cara 120L
Same as above, replace Black Patent with Cara 120L
Sweet English Mild with 120/Black
Same as above with 0.8 oz C120L and 0.8 oz Black Patent
Sweet English Mild with 120/Black and Alternate Hop Schedule
Same as above with the following hop schedule:
Thanks for any responses,
Mark
EDIT: These are all scaled recipes, obviously... Original is here:
