Whats up everybody?
I have an Idea that me and my wife are tossing around for a 4 gallon brew next week, and I wanted to get some opinions on it.
1 Briess Unhopped Dark Malt (3.3lbs) (http://heartshomebrew.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_31_33&products_id=20)
1lb Crisp Chocolate Grain (http://heartshomebrew.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_51&products_id=200
1lb Briess Crystal 120 (2row) (http://heartshomebrew.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_50&products_id=193)
1lb Honey
1 lbs Light DME (http://heartshomebrew.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_31_35&products_id=38)
1 lbs Dark DME (http://heartshomebrew.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_31_35&products_id=42)
1 oz. Liberty Hops (60 min boil) (http://heartshomebrew.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10_56&products_id=250)
3/4 oz Centeniel Hop (20 min boil)(remaining 1/2oz to be dry hopped a few days before bottling (http://heartshomebrew.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10_56&products_id=239)
1lb Lactose Sugar (http://heartshomebrew.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=134)
safale s-04 forthe yeast
Steep grains for one hour @ 150, then sparge @ 170. bring to a boil and add 1 oz of Liberty hops when boil starts. Forty min into boil add 3/4 oz. of Centeniel hops. 1 hour from boil start (flameout), add the LME, Lactose, Honey, and DME so as not to burn the malts. As soon as all those are mixed properly, add a can of Raspberry Puree to the primary, get down to 63f and pitch.
After primary ferm ends (prolly 4-6 days due to sugar content), rack to secondary on top of 6-8lbs of fresh raspberries, another week and bottle.
any and all feedback is appreciated
and a question, the O.G. and F.G. for this brew are 1.066 and 1.024 repsectivley, thats far to high to bottle isnt it ????? the F.G. i mean
