Hi everyone!
This is my first post here, and only about my sixth batch of beer that I'll have brewed. I'm really excited to try out a sparge free BIAB partial mash with my specialty grains and flaked oats. Here is the recipe I've designed:
Grains
- 1 lb chocolate malt
- 1 lb roasted barley
- 1 lb honey malt
- 2 lb flaked oats
- 6 Oz cara-pils/dextrine
Sugars
- 8 lb dark DME 60 min boil
- 2 lb honey at end of boil
- 2 lb Lactose 60 min boil
Hops
- 1 Oz warrior 60 min
- 1/2 Oz nugget 20 min
Flavorings
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 5 Oz ginger root
- 5 vanilla beans
Yeast
Undecided
Mash at 157 deg for 45 minutes, BIAB style. Hoping to pull even more unfermentable sugars from the specialty grains and the oats with the higher temp mash. Lazy sparge: I'll just heat my water to 170 with the grains in there and dunk them a few times and let them drain. Then I'll start the boil and the rest is history.
Stats:
OG: 1.110
FG: 1.033?
ABV: 10.6%
Taste: thick, creamy, sweet gingerbread stout with a significant malty alcohol undertone. A good holiday beer.
Tear this apart guys, what am I doing wrong? Is this too much lactose/oatmeal? Any help on an approximation for FG? Any other suggestions on yeast or anything else?
