I have two 6 gal carboys staring at me every time I walk into my closet, so I'm thinking about cold steeping the dark grains for this recipe -
7.5 lbs Maris Otter LME (not steeped)
1.0 lbs Brown malt
0.5 lbs Victory Malt
0.5 lbs dark crystal malt
0.3 lbs Kiln Coffee malt
0.25 lbs Black Malt
American Ale yeast
To avoid harsh tannins. Then I was going to 60 or 90 minute steep the same grains in 150 water as usual to make another beer and add
4.5lbs MO LME
3lbs Wheat LME
Either American Ale or maybe a hef style yeast.
(+ hops for both obviously!)
Has anyone ever tried this? Feel free to let me know what you think too! The second beer I was going to age to smooth out the harshness I was avoiding in the first beer.
Danke!
