I'm trying to save some time tonight since I'm having to brew on a weekday evenning. I'm doing a partial mash and plan to start the boil (3 gallons) with all my sugars in at the same time that I start the grain mashing (2 gallons, with sparge water). Then I'll add the mashed grains to the wort for the final 15 minutes of the boil.
Problem is I don't know what that will do to the hop utilization other than change it a lot, and I don't know how to calculate that with BeerSmith. If I do it all sequencially with a five gallon boil, it comes out to 78.2 IBU.
Here's a recipe:
Mashed Grain-
.5 lb Crystal 60
.33 lb Honey Malt
155* for 45 in 1.25 gallons, sparged with .75 gallons
Boil Schedule- (3 gallons)
4 lb x-light DME (60 min)
3 lb amber DME (60 min)
2 oz galena (30 min)
Mash (15 min)
1 oz galena (5 min)
1 oz amarillo (5 min)
Top off to five gallons.
If anyone can tell me what the IBU will work out to or how to figure it out or even just give me a rough estimate, I'll be forever indebted to you.
