I am working on a recipe for a dark 80 shilling ale, wich will be my first venture in to using liquid yeast, and was gonna check if anything in my recipe seems off, looking for a sorta sweet, full and a little chocolatey character, but want no obvious roasty flavour.
The batch is planned to be about 11L after boil.
est OG 1.050
FG 1.014
IBU 20.5
ABV 4.7
EBC 45
Maris otter 1860g 82%
Crystal 150(ebc) 230g 10%
Carabohemian 110g 5%
Carafa 1 special 70g 3%
Fuggles 16.1g/60 min
Mashing at 68c for 75 minutes, boiling 120min
I am gonna make a small starter by boiling 0.7 L of water with 0.5 deciliter of medium malt extract, and decant before pitching to ensure the fermentation kicks off and because the yeast will likely be nearing its expiry date when I come around to brew this.
Beersmith predicts FG at 1.014 with 70.5% attenuation, but i suspect attenuation will be a couple % lower and FG a couple points higher.
Anything look off or is it a decent recipe for this kind of ale? Have never brewed this style before.
