Brewing either this or next weekend depending on when I get to the brew store. Wanted something seasonal but then was looking at the calendar and looked like by the time I got to the end of the batch they’d be shelved for fall ales. So trying something that can be a great campfire dessert and leftovers will go well with my beloved fall beers as well.
Here’s my grist so far and recipe so far.
Partial mash at 150
1.25 qts per a pound this should just barely fit my 4 gallon kettle. Might reduce water to 1qt BIAB or just go with the above plan on top mashing
Might top mash the roasted grains which could be a great way to save on water and space.
No chill partial boil time and energy saving special haha
4lbs 2 row
4lbs light dme
.5lbs flaked barley
.75 lbs chocolate
.5lbs 20L caramel
1lbs lactose
Calculated lovibond 30
Extract at bottling
Expected og according to brewers friend 1.065 (sans the lactose since it’s included it as fermentable)
Expected final 1.018
Abv 6.1% looking for about 6.
Yeast either US05 or Nottingham because I haven’t tried either but want to try it. This will be my first brew with temp control. I’ll decide on an official temp later but thinking 68-70 range
Not set on hops but thinking magnum at 60. Any other suggestions welcome.
2lbs dme at 20
2lbs dme at 15
Lactose at 10min
Thoughts? Am I on the right track? Probably only done about 9-10 brews
