I timed the runoff from the mash tun, and it was 4.5 minutes for every gallon into the boil pot.
I used to sparge in about 25 minutes...
Minutes per gallon.... I read that as GPM and had the same reaction as BM.

Okay...so I'm not alone in my old age crazy eyes syndrome.Minutes per gallon.... I read that as GPM and had the same reaction as BM.
...It was so good. First store bought in a month or so. Im just about to free up a couple carboys, but this might end up being a 10 galloner going in the fermenator. mmm mmm good.....
is this some thing that would be drinkable in 4 weeks five days? I am a little pushed for time but this recipe looks great.
When I've made it the taste wasn't quite there until about 7-8 weeks total, so I wouldn't count on it for that time frame. .
Naturally carbing this batch in the keg.
Those look like little bath beads of goodness floating in there.
...I don't think I would be half the brewer i am now without Biermuncher.
BM, is this some thing that would be drinkable in 4 weeks five days? I am a little pushed for time but this recipe looks great.
If it's any indication, all 10-gallons of this beer are now gone.
Brewed on December 27th.
Kegged on January 11th.
Tapped on January 20th.
Floated on February 13th.
Talk about drinkability.
Thankfully I bottled off a 12-pack.
This beer had the smoothest, chewiest taste and a rocky head that wouldn't go away.
I know what I'm doing next weekend.
Brewed this about 2 months ago but I did cut the honey malt in half. I had tried a Fire Rock right before brewing as it had been a while since I had it but recalled liking it. It was a bit too sweet on the finish for me which is why I reduced the honey malt. The beer turned out great and has been a hit with everyone I have given bottles to. I think I may cut out the honey malt completely on the next one and increase the Centennial dry-hop. Won't really be a Kona clone at that point but oh well......
This should get you close
4.5# Extra Light DME
2# Marris Otter
1.5# Munich
.75# Honey Malt
.50 Oz Centennial (60)
.25 Oz Cascade (40)
.25 Oz Cascade (30)
.25 Oz Cascade (20)
.25 Oz Cascade (10)
.25 Oz Mt Hood or Hallertau (5)
Dry hop secondary with .5 Oz Centennial for 7 days.
I notice you don't have the Cara-Pils/Dextrine in the Partial Mash recipe ... since thats used for body and head retention, shouldn't it still be used? I'm a total newbie to PM brewing so please excuse if the answer is obvious
The DME will have carapils in it.
Old post but I was just reading looking for my next batch to brew.
not sure if anyone has mentioned this but beersmith is estimating an OG of 1.110 and an ABV of over 11.
with a 21.5 lb grain bill, this seems like it could be a big beer, almost a barleywine.
any insight?
Perhaps a closer read of the OP's recipe? It's an 11 gal batch.
