I have always been an extract brewer and haven't done it for a while. Recently a local craft brewery shared a recipe with me for a beer that I really liked, but it's for a brewery sized batch.
Here is what I was sent:
"Hey! It's pretty basic, we simply use 100% ESB Malt, 800lbs, it's our base malt, boil for 90 minutes, 1.5 lbs Horizon at 60 minutes and 3 lbs Saaz for end of boil. You'll have to work out the ratios for your size batch, this is for 15 bbls. . We aim for a OG of 12.5 Plato. We pitch our house strain of yeast which is a Kolsch and Ferment at 68, bump to 71 when gravity reaches below half OG. That's about it. Pretty simple. Simple is good. If I forgot anything, please ask. I'm not at the brewery at the moment so going off memory.
Cheers, "
Would boiling this ESB malt for 90 mins yield wort? Or am I missing something?
Any help scaling this down to a 5 gallon batch would be appreciated.
Thanks all!
