So I'm trying my first all grain recipe that came completely out of my head. This is gonna be a BIG beer. 15lbs. of grain for a single 5 grain batch.
5lbs pale malt
5lbs Marris Otter pale malt
1lb Crystal 60L
1lb Crystal 120L
1lb 6-Row pale malt
1lb Briess Victory malt
1lb flaked oats
1oz Brewers Gold 8.5%AA - 60 min
Wyeast 1318 Londan Ale III
Mash in w/18.75 quarts @ 168F
Manual Vourloff
I literally put this together as my first experimentation in developing an all-grain recipe of my own.
I'm looking for recommendations on sacchrification rest times. Beersmith gives me a 45 minute rest, but I reall want to go 60 minutes or maybe even longer. What do you fine people think?
I'm also going to ferment this on the warm side (72F - 74F) to bring out the fruit esters in the yeast. Opinions?
I'm making an open invitation to flex your brewing/chemistry/beer geek muscles to help me learn more about my newest addiction ! ! ! :rockin:
Thanks in advance!
