Alright so the second recipe we ever made was a Porter (first one we created). It was really good everyone liked it. Well we took a wrong turn and got into All Grain, lol... I have been tasked with revisiting the Porter. Since it never turns out the same twice i decided to change it up. Let me know how this looks.
10 lbs 2-row
1.5 lbs Munich
.75 lbs Chocolate
.75 lbs Victory
.50 lbs Aromatic
.50 lbs Biscuit
.50 lbs Crystal 80L (or 90)
.50 lbs Special B
(15 lbs Total)
Mashed for 60-90 minutes 152*F, Sparged with 170*F. At 1.5 qts each lb that gives me 5.5 gallons of water for mashing and about 8.5 gallons sparge. (Batch Sparging).
As for the boil 60 minutes, 1.25 oz Fuggles at 60, 1.25 Fuggles at 15, and 1 oz E.K. Goldings at flame out.
Estimated SG 1.079 (at 75% efficiency)
SRM: 32.2
IBU's: 30.9
London Ale Yeast III (WYeast 1318)
------------------------
What i am wondering is if my grains look ok, and if i have the mash and sparge water measurements correct. I left the efficiency on promash at 75% because this is the first All Grain and I really don't know what kind of efficiency we'll get, of course hoping for more.
Because this seemed to be the most popular beer we're also probably going to make it a double batch. Anything special I need to know for doubling it besides double everything?
