I have the ingredients for what was intended to be a reliable and hoppy 5 gallons of Maris Otter/Citra SMASHish (I use Magnum for bittering). However, I was wondering if I could stretch the ingredients in these troubled times to a 10 gallon batch of a nice session pale with the help of some corn sugar.
The ingredients I have:
14# Maris Otter
0.5 oz Magnum (planned for 60min)
4 oz Citra (planned for 5min)
WLP007 yeast (from a previous batch)
several pounds of corn sugar
I have a 16.5 gal Bayou kettle and I BIAB. My plan was to start w/ maybe 12 gal strike water, do a 60 min mash at 152º or so, and then do the additions above + maybe 2 pounds of corn sugar at 15 minutes. I'll come up short on final volume, but I planned to top off with water.
I ran this through brewers friend and it came to something like 4.5-5% ABV and 32ish IBUs, which seems pretty good to me.
Any thoughts/improvements/critiques of this plan?
