Ok so I am going to be assistant brewer for my buddy this weekend and he wants to do a frankenbeer. With the recipe he gave me It looks like we need to to Partial Mashing (which I have been wanting to try anyways). But I am a Noob, and have only followed recipes, so I am reaching out to you the experts for help here. I have read the"Easy partial Mash Brewing" thread from DeathBrewer and I think I have a pretty good Idea on how to do it (Thanks to him). Here is the recipe my buddy wants to do.
1 lb of wheat
1 lb of 2-Row
1lb of mild ale
1lb of Crystal 60L
8lbs of light LME
2 oz of sweet orange peel
1 oz of crushed Coroamder Seeds
1oz of Centennial Pellets added last 15 min
1oz of Cascade Pellets added last 15 min
Cailfornia Liquid Yeast (WLP001)
1. what is this going to be like (OF, FG, IBU)?
2. With Partial Mashing we will add all the grain, do the mashing, then add
the extract and boil as normal. Right?
3. If I am understanding the math right for the water
I have 4lbs of grain * 1.25 quarts = 5 quarts or 1.25 gallons
Grains will absorb .4 gallons of water (.10 * 4lbs)
That leaves me with .85 gallons, so if I want to do a 3 gallon boil I will
sparge with 2.15 gallons or so right?
4. Is there anything you would tweak to make this better?
5. Since I am a noob, I have no idea what this will be like, any guesses?
Thanks for helping me out. I love this site!![Mug :mug: :mug:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-154.gif)
