I've been extract brewing for a year or so and decided to treat myself for my birthday to not only BeerSmith 2.0 but also an AG set up with a 10 gallon igloo cooler and a 7.5 gal kettle to handle 5 gal boils.
Decided that my first attempt would be a nice, malty, drinkable ESB. However, I've noticed BeerSmith gives me very different numbers than BrewersFriend's recipe calculator did and I was hoping someone could double check my numbers?
5 gallon ESB recipe
5.5 lb Maris Otter
2.5 lb Victory
.5 lb carapils
1 lb Caramel 80L
10 g Gypsum
Mash at 152F for 60 mins; batch sparge
1 oz EKG hops at 60mins boil
1 oz Fuggles hops at 45 mins boil
Yeast starter using Dry English Ale (White Labs WLP007)
Ferment for 2 weeks at 165F.
According to BeerSmith my numbers should be:
OG: 1.058
FG: 1.013
IBU: 34.6
I know I'm using a lot of the 'bread' grains, this won't turn out too malty will it?
Thanks for any input!
