Recipe Help for 1st AG

[flananuts]

Hi there

I'm purchasing my ingredients for my first all grain beer and I need some help. I'm trying to do an AG version of Papazian's Palilia Pale Ale recipe which is an extract beer with partial grain soak. What would I need to do in order to calculate what my grain bill should be if I have the malt extract ingredients and I know what my OG goal is?

Thanks

The recipe says light or amber DME so I'd use 2-row with some munich to get the OG to 1.050.

You can buy all grain kits that make doing your first few ag batches easier...or wtf go for it.

here's the formula:

[(original gravity - 1) * 5] / [(Grain gravity - 1) * (efficiency)] = total pounds of grain needed.


The grain gravity is the gravity of one pound of grain in one gallon of water with perfect extraction. (Look this number up in a chart)

or

you could just let beer calculus figure it out for you:

Beer Calculus . homebrew recipe calculator


I'd suggest figuring the mash efficiency on the low side for your first batch. My first batch came out at 62% efficiency and my second batch was 70%.

..."If AG beer kits were cool I'm Miles Davis"..... thanks for the help. With the electric HERMunster downstairs now ready to fire up and every part being custom and thought out I have to do this the hard way . Conroe and brian_g thanks for the links. I'm going to use that as the base. When I was partial mashing I would increase the extract by about 30%, double the hop bill, and use an English Special. I'm going to attempt something similar here.

I'll let you know how this goes, ordering the ingredients today.

Northern brewer's three hearted ale is a great kit.
