I am sitting at home with a flu and going nuts as I have nothing to do really, should be at work or having fun somewhere, so instead I am composing a few recipes.
I got the idea of making an ultra light ladies brew since most of what I have lined up is malty and dark.
I also want to try using corn and rice.
Now as I understand it I must use some 2-row pale (can´t get 6-row) to get the enzymes to convert the adjunct corn/rice
If possible I would even like to use german pilsner malt to get it even lighter in color.
The recipe looks like this
7.4 gal. batch
52.7 % 5.5 lbs German Pilsener
21.0 % 2.2 lbs Flaked Corn
21.0 % 2.2 lbs Flaked Rice
5.3 % 0.5 lbs CaraPils
1 oz. Fuggles 4.7% 60 min
0.357 Saaz 4% 15 min
SRM 1.5 <<<<
IBU 16
Target ABV 4.4%
I have been getting around 85% efficiency out of my rig.
US-05 or nottingham ale yeast, want it to be dry, really dry.
I have s-04 as well as some alger yeast but want to do an ale this time.
Mash low and long.
Now I am running blind here really, I do not even know if this is possible. I have never used corn nor rice and do not know as much as I should so any input is very likely to be of use to me, and highly appreciated.
