Hey guys going to do my first AG batch tommorrow and was just wanting a last minute critique on it. It will be a belgian Pale Ale styled after Eds Haus Pale Ale.
OG 1.055
FG 1.011
EABV 5.85%
8lbs Belgian Pale
2lb Vienna
1lb Munich
0.24lb Special B
0.5oz Green Bullet 60min
0.25oz Green Bullet 20min
0.25oz Green Bullet 5min
WLP 500 Yeast
Going to dough in with 1.25 qt/lb of water @ 167.7 F per Beer Smith. This should give me my rest of 152 F for 75 mins. I will then batch sparge with 2 equal volume at 175-180F whatever brings my grain bed to around 168. Shooting for around 6.5 gallons in my boil kettle with a final volume of around 5.5 gal. Going to cool this down with a IC recirculating ice water and ferment at around 65-68. Probably wont do a secondary just leave it on the cake for 3-4 weeks. Im stoked cant wait to get AG under way.:rockin:
Doing this for my second batch. Im using this first to learn my equipment and get a good yeast cake built up.
