In two weeks I will be attempting my 3rd AG/PM recipe. I only say PM as I add extract to improve my efficiency.
I am going to making an IPA based on Citra hops only because I bought 10 oz thinking they were hard to find I have since found other wise.
Recipe:
Malts
11.50 lbs - 2 Row
.50 lbs - Caramel Crystal
.50 lbs - Special B (only because I have it on hand)
Hops
.50 oz Citra @ 60
.50 oz Citra @ 45
.50 oz Citra @ 30
.50 oz Citra @ 15
1 oz - Willaette @ 5
Yeast:
1 Vial - California Ale Yeast
Equipment:
5 Gallon Mash Tun with braid
8 Gallon Kettle with a 7.25 boil
I am using the Single Infusion Batch Sparge Full Body method in Beersmith.
My question is that Beersmith says to sparge with 3 additions of 1.83 gallons of water. Could I add the water in two steps rather than three?
