Hello all,
So I've been interested in brewing an Old Ale for some time and I've recently developed a recipe that I would like comments/suggestions on.
Here is my recipe SO FAR (it's a work-in-progress)
-----------------
Size: 11.0*gal
Ingredients:
21.0*lb Maris Otter Pale Ale Malt (69.0%)
4.0*lb Munich TYPE I (13.8%)
2.0*lb Caramel Malt 60L (6.9%)
1.0*lb Special B - Caramel malt (3.4%)
1.0*lb Barley Flaked
1.0*lb Molasses (3.4%)
4.0*oz East Kent Goldings (5.0%) - added during boil, boiled 60*m
2.0*oz East Kent Goldings (5.0%) - added during boil, boiled 1*m
1.0*ea White Labs WLP004 Irish Stout
Schedule:
Mash @ 152 for 60 mins
Boil for 3 Hours
-----------------
I plan on boiling for 3 hours (melanoiden formation, yadda yadda) in my keggle. I usually start with about 13 and end off close to 11 gals. Since I'm boiling for longer, I will obviously boil off more (3gals to be exact). Will there be any major disadvantages to adding 3 gals of water to the fermenter/post-boil?
That's pretty much it for now. I would like to add treacle but I can't seem to find it at any of my LHBSs. Any suggestions on a good substitute?
