Okay so I read the 16 or so page thread about late LME addition. I never did find a definate answer of an exact process. So with the help of the Tastybrew.com calculator I came up with the following Brew Plan. Please note for brevity I'm not including alot of other info.
Brew - Midwest Fat Tire Clone
Ingredients:
6lb gold LME
1.5lb steeping grains
1 oz Northern Brewer Pellet Hops - 6.0 AAU
1 oz Saaz Pellet Hops - 2.3 AAU
Target IBU - 26
Original process: recipe calls for 60 min boil of 1 oz Northern Brewer hops and 2 min boil of Saaz hops, with all 6lbs LME in pot with 2 gal. water, producing 26 IBUs. I used the tastybrew calculator and came up with the following.
Alternative process: 20 min boil of 1 oz Northern Brewer Hops and 2 Min boil of Saaz hops with 2lbs LME in pot with 2.375 gal. water, producing 26 IBUs. I would remove hops from wort, add remaining LME, let sit for 10 mins to pasturize, and proceed with cooing etc.
Could someone with Beersmith etc. run these #'s and make sure I'm accurate? I'm not to proud to beg either... so PLEASE!
