Superior Pale Malt-Falconer's Flight...aka Falcon Smash

[Jacinthebox]

This is what I'm planning for tonight...thoughts?
10gal batch
20lbs Superior Pale Malt
Mash at 148f

1oz Falconers Flight @ 15min
1oz Falconers Flight @ 10min
1oz Falconers Flight @ 5min

chill wort to 140-150f... 5oz Falconers Flight and stir...let sit covered for 30-60min.

Chill as normal

ferment with some us05 slurry from a previous brew (transferring tonight).

I may dry hop each carboy with 2oz

massive hopstand FTW. I usually let mine go for a full hour though. Much longer than that doesnt seem to help any more. One time I took a break (*passed out on my bed*) waiting out the hopstand and ended up letting it go for 3 hrs. No noticeable improvement over 1 hr though

For my SMaSH beers, I like to toast 1/2lb or so of the malt in the oven and use that in the mash. Some may consider that cheating though. Another time, I collected the first runnings and boiled it separately down into a thin syrup and added that back in. I guess the point of it is the lack of complexity though

Thanks for the tips...maybe I'll let it go an hour before cooling

All brewed up...let it stand with 5oz at 140f for 60min.
