I recently brewed my first all-grain batch using the following recipe from my local home brew shop:
5 gallon batch (US-05 yeast)
8.50 lbs Pale malt (2-row)
0.50 lbs 40L Crystal malt
0.50 lbs 60L Crystal malt
0.25 lbs Car-pils/dextrine
1 oz Fuggles (15 min) - EDITED FROM ORIGINAL POST
1 oz Northern Brewer (60 min) - EDITED FROM ORIGINAL POST
1 oz Cascade Dry hop (2ndary for 7 days)
I want to triple this recipe because I have a 20 gallon pot now. Based on what I have read, my mash tun (10 gallon igloo cooler) will hold 25lbs of grains so I plan to use close to that amount for mashing and then adding 6 lbs of pale malt extract to the boil. Thru my beer smith software I got the following recipe. (I rounded up on the some of the numbers for measurement purposes
19.00 lbs Pale malt (2-row)
1.50 lbs 40L Crystal malt
1.50 lbs 60L Crystal malt
0.75 lbs Car-pils/dextrine
BOIL
3 oz Fuggles (60 min)
3 oz Northern Brewer (15 min)
3 oz Cascade Dry hop
6.0 lbs Pale Malt extract
I have the ability to ferment it all in one 20 gallon container (preferred) or I have three 6.5 gallon buckets.
If I ferment all in one, do I need 3 dry/liquid yeast packs? OR make a starter with 2 liquid packs? And is temperature an huge issue with 15 gallons fermenting in one container?
For any of you more experienced all-grainers, does the triple recipe work to achieve roughly the same beer as the 5 gallon recipe as far as ingredients and hops? Any recommendation or changes that you would suggest?
Thanks in advance
