Looking at potentially doing my fourth AG brewday next Sunday and thought I'd run the recipe by the forum. I won't post the amounts up as they're straight from Graham Wheeler's book and then adjusted for my equipment using the great man's Beer Engine.
Maris Otter
Brown Malt
Crystal Malt
Chocolate Malt
Fuggles 90 mins
Fuggles 10 mins
I'm aiming for 23 litres at an OG of 1053, but have been short on every brew so far. Last time only by two litres, so I'll use the same calculations this time and see whether I fall short by the same amount and if needed add boiled water at the end.
The recipe doesn't mention any Irish moss additions, I presume this is because it's a dark beer? Is it worth putting in half a tablet anyway?
Also, I have a SO4 yeast set aside for this, but if I was to grab a bottle of Fuller's Bengal Lancer tomorrow would I have time to get this up to a decent size if I harvest it with some dry malt extract over the next few days?
