im brewing the following northern english brown ale cigar city Maduro clone using full volume (8 gallons 100%ro water) biab.
1.055, 1.014 24.92 I use, 26 srm, 70% efficiency 155f mash temp
7.5 lb marris otter
1.6lb crystal 60
0.4lb uk chocolate
0.65lb brown malt
0.85lb victory malt
1lb rolled oats.
1oz Kent Goldings 60 min
1oz fuggles 10 min
S-04
When I plug the grist into ez water calculator with 1.5g gypsum, 3.75 g calc2, and 1g baking soda I get the following with an estimated room temp mash ph 5.46:
Ca 45
Mg 0
Na 9
Cl 60
S04 28
Cl/s04 2.16
Effective alkalinity 20
Haven't done an English brown all grain yet and I tried to mirror some other online profiles I've seen. My concerns with this fairly tame profile right now is the effective alkalinity is too low for a malty style and my
So4 may be a bit low. I'm also wondering if my mash ph is appropriate for the style.
Thanks
