Ok, Long story here but scale was at KILO not OZ. I was talking to the owner and wasn't paying attention. So my 9% IPA became a 11.7%IPA since my 4 pounds of specialty malts became 8.8 pounds just like that. So 22 pounds of grain for a 5.5 gallon batch. As of right now I have decided to just go with it. Since I don't have a big enough MT to go no sparge I feel like this is the best option. So how do I balance this recipe or does it look good?
14 pounds of 2 Row
4.4 pounds of Vienna
4.4 pounds of Munich
Bittering with Apollo
Flavor with El Dorado, Mosaic, and a small hit of Galaxy since they were out of Citra.
Whirpool with El Dorado and Mosaic.
71% efficiency
11.7%
1.105 SG
92.8 IBU
BR .885
60 min boil
mash - fly sparge
equipment all grain with 10 gallon coolers
what do you all think. Can I make an awesome IPA at 11.7% or should I just redo the grains all together and make it at 9 like originally planned.
thanks all!
