Hello from Cincinnati!
I decided to try out a take on a bronze ale last night, like copper ale only darker..
as an experiment I decided to do a 45 min steep instead of the usual 30 min time frame, my reasoning was that I was steeping a lot of grain and the muslin bags were full before wetting.
grains:
.75 lb crystal rye
0.5 lb 60L crystal
0.13 lb roasted barley
.75 lb 40L crystal
.5 lb flaked barley
fermentables were 8 lb canadian LME
hops:
1 oz centennial 60 min
1 oz yakima magnum 60 min
1 oz cascade 20 min
1 oz cascade flame out
pitched two packs of Safale US-05 dry yeast
fermentation has already started after ~8 hours!
the question: what would you expect the change in steep time to equate to in the finished product?
Thanks!
