Yay! It's brew day. My 3rd batch, my 1st partial mash and my 1st 5 gal batch.
Bought a dry Irish stout kit from J&M in Novato. Nice guys there.
The kit has:
3 lbs light DME
2 lbs Marris Otter
2 lbs flaked barley
1 lb black roasted barley
2 oz of Kent Golding for 60 min
1 whirlfloc tablet
I think I'm going to add 1.5 lbs sparkling amber DME that I have onhand to boost the maltiness and the abv.
For yeast I bought Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale
Just cleaned and sanitized. Now heating water. yikes that's a lot of grains - I don't have another kettle big enough. Can't I just do the soaking and sparging all in the main kettle?
Toying with the idea of adding a spiced ginger tincture at bottling.
