Hi everyone,
I first just want to say that this place is amazing, I have been lurking on it ever since I was debating on homebrewing 6 months ago. I feel like I have learned so much, with out ever even brewing yet.
Anyway, I am finally ready to give it my first try and wanted to make sure that I at least have the process correct to give myself a good chance of success. I am going to try my hand at partial mash brewing BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde, using DeathBrewer's partial mash brewing guide.
Centennial Blonde: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/centennial-blonde-simple-4-all-grain-5-10-gall-42841/
I really just want to make sure that I converted the recipe to partial mash correctly and am not missing, or overlooking anything, in the brewing process. So here is the recipe and the process as I think it is supposed to be.
Recipe:
3.00 lb Extra Light Dry Extract
2.25 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US
0.75 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM)
0.25 oz Centennial [9.50%] (55 min)
0.25 oz Centennial [9.50%] (35 min)
0.25 oz Cascade [7.80%] (20 min)
0.25 oz Cascade [7.80%] (5 min)
1pkg Nottingham Yeast
Clean and sanitize everything that the beer will be touching, or could touch.
Crush Cara-Pils/Dextrine, Pale Malt, and Cara-pils, if not pre-crushed. Bring 1.5 gallons water a little over 150F (To allow for cooling when adding grains). Add gains inside grain bag and keep at temp for 60min.
During this, Heat up additional 2 gallons of water to 175F.
After 60min, pull out grain bag and allow to drain over first pot. Then place into second pot for 10min. Remove and dispose of grains, then add original mash into second pot. As water heats up to a boil, add DME. Boil 15min then add ¼ ounce Centennial hops. Boil another 25min then add ¼ ounce Centennial hops . Boil another 10 min then add ¼ ounce cascade hops. Boil another 5 then add ¼ ounce cascade hops. Boil another 5 min, then remove pot from heat and cool in bath of cold water/ice.
Strain cooled wort into primary fermenter, add water until obtaining 5 1/8 gallons total.
When temperature is down under 70F add Nottingham yeast.
Ferment in primary fermenter 4 days, or until sg stops dropping, at 68F. Siphon into secondary fermenter, for 5 days at 68F.

Am I missing anything? Anything blaringly wrong in either the recipe or the precess.
Thank you,
