ok guys, I have a glass top stove that doesnt' like to boil over 4 gallons of liquid without the lid on so I've stayed away from upgrading to all grain BIAB batches till now. well now I have an extra ale pail that's not in use this time so I thought I'd try a SMaSH IPA only doing a 3 gallon batch.... thought a SMaSH IPA would be a great beginner all grain batch since I'm a tad nervous
here's what I thought I'd try and pull off
7.25 lbs of 2 row
3.5 ounces of Cascade or Centennial (depending on if my LHBS is out of stock or not on their cascade like they were last time)
BIAB method so fairly simple there. mash in at 152 degrees ish
.75 oz cascade at 60 minute mark
.50 oz cascade at 15 minute mark
1.25 oz cascade at flameout
then 1.5 oz cascade dry hop
got a crapload of S-04 sittting around that I harvested from my last batch so no real big expenditure there either...
total bill is about $14 including tax from the LHBS to try my first foray away from extract kits
I MIGHT dry hop with another 1/2 oz if you guys think it's apropriate
