I was hoping for input on this recipe (partial mash):
6 1/2 lbs pilsen LME
2 lbs Belgian 2-row
1 lb Munich
8 oz Carapils
8 oz flaked oats
8 oz Belgian aromatic
6 oz crystal 60
4 oz caravienne
Grains mashed at 153 deg for 90 min
5 gal batch, 6 gal boil
90 min boil for carmelization
1 oz Hallertau (3.8%) at 60 min
1 oz Styrian Goldings (4.6%) at 20 min
WLP072 (French ale yeast, 2L starter)
Target OG 1.074
Beer Calculus gives me a FG of 1.020, but I'm betting it comes in in the 1.014-1.016 range.
Target abv ~7.5-8%
Opinions? I haven't seen oats in any of the recipes I've looked at, but that style profile mentions silkiness in the mouthfeel, and to me that means oats. I was initially going to add a pound of turbinado sugar, but nixed it in favor more LME. I also have an oz each of Tet and Cascade lying around.
Thanks!
