I'm about to make my first batch of all grain beer. I found this recipe online and I was wondering what you guys thought of the ratios.
3 Gallon Batch
9lbs of Maris Otter
1oz Centennial for 60
2oz Centennial for 10
1oz Centennial for 1
Safale S-04
Beersmith says it will come out to 75.1 IBUs and 8.4 ABV. Sounds more like an Imperial to me, but maybe I'm wrong.
On a side note, I only have a 5 gallon pot, so I will not be able to do a full mash in the pot. Would it be better to mash in a bag in my cooler (not set up with a spout, just a cooler) and then transfer the preboil wort (roughly 4 gallons) to the pot or just mash with less water in the pot and add to it? I'm leaning towards the former.
Thoughts?
