Looking for some input and recipe help for doing a 10 gallon all grain batch that I am planning on splitting into 2 - 5 gal batches. I already have a lot of darker / heavier beers on tap and wanted to add in some lighter beers to round out the kegerator. I was thinking of doing a blonde or cream ale / kolsch split post boil. after reviewing some recipes I have a starting point of:
19lb 2 row
1.5 lb cara pils
16 oz Maltodextrin ( maybe?)
Any suggestions on additions / deletions?
I guess my biggest question is which hops to use: cascade, willamette, crystal etc. and when
My plan is to use California ale yeast for the Blonde or cream ale and Kolsch ale 2565 for the Kolsch obviously.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is my first venture into tweaking recipes and doing split batches.
