I'm now starting my first AG batch. I've done a few partial mashes in the past. I'm eager to see how well this turns out with the addition of a corona style mill and mash tun to my equipment. I was going to do a 90 minute boil but decided to go with a 60 minute.
Imperial IPA
Batch Size: 3 gallons
Boil time: 60 minutes
Grain
4 lbs Briess 2-row Brewer's Malt
3 lbs Briess 2-row Pale Ale Malt
1 lb Briess Crystal 60L
Hops*
1 oz Amarillo
0.5 oz Northern Brewer
0.5 oz Chinook
Constant additions every 4 minutes from 60 to flame out.
Yeast
White Labs WLP001 California Ale Yeast (no starter)
Mash Info - Mashing a little lower to make it a bit drier
Mash in with 2.5 gallons @ 163.7 to hit 152 for 60 minutes
Batch Sparge - 2.5 gallons @ 168
The crystal malt is a little high, I got carried away with the mill and crushed it all and mixed it with the other grains before realizing I didn't want to use it all.
I'm currently heating about 3.5 gallons of water to 170 to preheat the mash tun. And there's the thermometer telling me it's ready.
More to come!
