Hi guys,
I'll be brewing my first all grain batch this weekend. I'll be using the new BIAB method. I'll be using Northern Brewer's recipe for the cream ale:
MASH INGREDIENTS
-- 7 lbs. Rahr 2-Row Pale
-- 0.75 lbs. Gambrinus Honey Malt
-- 0.25 lbs. Belgian Biscuit malt
HOPS
-- 1 oz Cluster (60 min)
YEAST
Wyeast 1056 American Ale.
Since I will lose some efficiency from the BIAB method, I've been reading that I should bump up the grain bill. The question is, how much should I bump up this grain bill, and by how much for each ingredient? For example, if I bump up the 2-row base malt only, will that effect the overall profile of the beer if I don't adjust the specialty grains as well?
