Alright, brew three is on the cards and choosing a very recent addition to my favourite beers list: Kneedeep Simtra. This is a triple IPA generously hopped (and gloriously aged) with Simcoe and Citra hops.
Using this recipe i've decided to change the grain makeup to match that of Mikkeller. Lurking on the internet is an e-mail from Mikel to a homebrewer detailing the ratio of grains that he uses as the base for his single hopped beers (67% pilsner malt, 11% Cara-Crystal, 11% Munich II, 11% Flaked Oats). I've cut the ratio of pilsner malt in half and added in half maris otter as maris otter was called for in the original Simtra clone recipe i found.
So, without further ado:

This brew will be all about getting our efficiency right the frack up. The intention is to lift the bag completely out of the kettle, supplant it to a colander on top of a second kettle and then sparge it until a suitable wort appears underneath. There is the prospect of upping the boil to 90 minutes if there is too much volume in the kettle once the worts are combined.
I'd be grateful for opinions on the proposed recipe!
