Posted this in the extract forum but not getting any real feedback though I would try here.

So I decided to do a n ABA Clone from a recipe I found online this weekend. I just have a few questions I need answered before brew day. The recipe didn’t say but my assumption is that the 2lb of specialty grain should be steeped as usual for 30 min? What would be the proper temp…. I assume 154?

Also some recipes calls for steeping in 2 gal of water and then sparging with a gallon of water, while other will just say steep in the 3 gal that will be used for the boil. What would be the proper procedure here?
Also if this recipe is a full 5 gal boil I may have some hop utilization numbers to correct. Does anyone know the correct amount of hops I would need to use to achieve the 76IBU’s in a 3 gallon boil doing 3 hop additions? 1Addition at 75 min of boil time 1Addition at 45 min of boil time and 1Addition flame out.

Here is the original recipe:

Grains: .5 lb Special-B 147L
.5 lb Biscuit 24L
.5 lb Aromatic 19L
.5 lb CaraMunich 47L

Malt Extract: 3 lbs Amber Muntons DME
5 lbs Light Muntons DME

Hops: 1 oz Chinook 11% AA 75 min
1 oz Chinook 11% AA 45 min
1 oz Chinook 11% AA aroma

Yeast: Wyeast 1056 American Ale (left over from 3.5 months ago. made starter 2 days prior)
