This week I brewed my first all-grain recipe, converted a 3 gallon cooler into a mash tun so I decided with a 3 gallon recipe,
Batch Size: 3-Gal
Boil Size: 4-Gal
Efficiency: 70 %
Mash Temp: 154°F
Mash Time: 60min.
Mash Thickness: 1.25qt./lb.
Batch Specs
OG: (1.045 - 1.06) Hit 1.054
FG: (1.01 - 1.016)
SRM: (18 - 35)
IBU: (20 - 40) 51 - I think was calculated
ABW: 6.7 %
ABV: (4.3 - 6.2 %)
Mash Water Vol: 9 qts.
Sparge Water Vol: 12 qts.
Sparge Water Temp: 167 °F
Ingredients
Mash
5 lbs 2-Row Pale Malt
.5 lbs ozs Cara-Pils/Dextrin
.5lbs Crystal Malt 40L
.5lbs Wheat Malt
4 ozs Chocolate Malt
Boil: 60min
Hops:
.5 oz Northern Brewer minutes @60 min
.5 oz Northern Brewer minutes @15
.5 oz Cascade minutes @5min
.5 oz Cascade minutes Dry Hop @ flame out
Surprisingly hit my targets, I was hopping for an OG of 1.055 and hit 1.054
My question how does this recipe look and do you think the IBU's are too high?
