I did the Old Dog Brown mini-mash finally. Total time 2 1/4 hours.
2 1/2 lb 2-row
1/2 lb Crystal 90L
1/2 lb Brown Malt
1/2 lb Victory
1/4 lb Chocolate Malt
5 lb pale LME
1 1/2 oz. Willamette Bittering
No aroma or finish hops.
Nottingham Dried
Mashed in 152F with 2.5 gallons of water 45 minutes
Heated another 3 gallons to 175F while mashing
Drained first wort to the kettle & started heating
Batch sparge 10 minutes, removed grain bag and stirred in extract
Added sparge & extract to kettle
The recipe called for 60 minutes for the bittering hops, with 2 gallons. Since I batch sparged, I had 5.0 gallons. I chose to adjust the time, rather than the hops.
Actual boil 25 minutes with 1/2 tsp Irish Moss the whole time.
