So after a long long long week I had all day today off for brewing. HORRAY! I got up this morning and went to the LHBS to buy my grain for the IPA recipe. I start crushing the grains (I dont have my own mill) with their grain mill. I notice that the grain is not getting nearly enough crushing, so i ask to adjust the settings. The manager has it fixed and wont let anyone change it. I try telling him that I cant make beer (the way I want) with such a shotty crush. He doesnt feel the same, we cross words, and I end up buying the grain anyway because its the one day I would have to brew and I dont want to order grain online.
Here is the IPA recipe (basic) :
OG - 60
FG - 15
IBU - 55
SRM - 14
10 # 2-row
1 # Crystal 60
.5 # Munich
.25 # Special B
.5 perle @ 60
.5 Columbus @ 60
.5 Perle @ 15
1 Cascade @ 10
.5 Columbus @ 5
.25 tsp Paradise Seed @5
Dry Hop 1 Cascade
WHite Labs Cali Yeast
Mash @ 154
My OG after it was all said and done was 1.042!!!!! (50% efficiency) Needless to say im a little pissed, but I knew it was coming with the crap crush at my LHBS. I guess this means I need to go buy my own Grain Mill now
How will this affect the beer?
