Hi!
I have the following grain bill for a partial mash. I am going from memory, so it isn't exact. (my recipe is home)..but i still may make mild tweaks anyways.
1.5 lb bisuit malt
0.5 lb crystal 20
0.5 lb crystal 40
4 lbs base malt (american 2 row)
probably 55-60 % mash efficiency, due to a)relative inexperience with mash, and b) 20 qt brew pot restricting the amount of sparging.
Depending on how my efficiency goes, I will add the appropriate amount of light DME after the mash to have 3.75 gallons of wort at 1.086 (which I will bring up after the boil to 5.5 gal, thus an OG of 1.058.)
much of this information is overkill, but i figured i would provide it anyways....
At the end of the day, i am going for a doughy or biscuity flavor, with mild honey and caramel flavor as well. I am brewing an IPA style, but not 'in your face' hops like is common. My question is, what type of hops would work well for this malt? I would love to hear some suggested hop varieties as well, but at this point I am more looking for feedback on spicy, vs citrus, vs floral, vs earthy.
All help is much appreciated!
