On my lunch I went to the LHBS and one of the guys helped me throw together a recipe for a chewy, dark, malty winter ale.
Batch size: 2.5
Calc. OG: 1.085
Calc. FG: 1.021
Mash Eff: 75%
IBU: 29
SRM: 54
ABV: 8.5
Yeast: Wyeast 1056
Starter: 2000ml on stir plate 36hrs then decant.
5# Marris Otter
2# Crystal 80L
1# Caramunich II
1/2# Carapils
1/4# Choclate Malt
1oz Saaz @ 60
.5oz Fuggle @ 15
Single Infusion Mash: 156f for 80 min.
Batch sparge.
I hit an OG of 1090 so it was a little high but my starter was big enough so I didn't top off.
Thoughts?
