Been sitting on this recipe for a while, but hopefully will be brewing on Saturday and sticking in the polypin ready for the August bank holiday BBQ. Any comments on my recipe?
Batch size - 11l
Estimated OG - 1.049
Estimated FG - 1.011
Estimated ABV - 5.04%
Estimated IBU - 24.4
Estimated Colour - 25.5 EBC
60 minute mash at 66.7ðc
2.2kg Loughran Pale Ale Malt - 89.1%
130g Bairds Crystal Light - 5.3%
100g Bairds Crystal Dark - 4%
40g Roasted Barley - 1.6%
18g East Kent Goldings - 60 mins - 19.2 IBU
8g East Kent Goldings - 20 mins - 5.2 IBU
Yeast - US-05 (Wanted to use Nottingham but was out of stock)
I have decided to use the Loughran Family Pale Malt. Does anyone have any experience of this compared to Maris Otter? I think I'll bung in a 100g or so to cover any difference in conversion etc. I may also mash for 90 minutes to be on the safe side.
The Crystal 40 will be Bairds Light Crystal and the 80 will be Bairds Dark Crystal. They seem to be in the same colour range, so hopefully it won't turn out too dark.
I believe Reds can often have just a 60 minute addition, but wanted a 20 minute addition to add some freshness. If this is a terrible idea, I'm happy to remove.
