I am planning on cleaning out my freezer and brewing a grab bag IPA tomorrow. The grain bill is eccentric.
10 lbs Morris Otter (40.7%)
4 lbs Crystal 10 (16.3%)
2 lbs Munich (8.1%)
2 lbs Victory (8.1%)
2 lbs Vienna (8.1%)
2 lbs Cara Pils (8.1%)
1 lb Mild (4.1%)
1 lbs Biscuit (4.1%)
9.6 oz Corn Sugar (2.4%)
I will bitter with 2 oz Galena, and use Cascade for Aroma (1 oz at 15 min, 10 min, and 5 min.) Also, I will use 3 oz of Centennial at flame out and whirlpool.
I am using what I have on hand to clean out the freezer, but does anyone worry about using this many specialty malts in one recipe? Am I making a huge mistake?
I plan on mashing ar 149 to 150 for an hour to decrease the body and malt characteristics some.
Before I start, can anyone give me a good reason to abort this mission?
Thanks.
