Hi all,
I'm finally getting round to doing my first AG recipe, which i'm doing as a BIAB using an ACE boiler.
I've only done extract brews before so the malt bill is a bit of a new challenge. I'm planning to do an APA with Centennial, Citra and Mosaic. So far i've got some Simpsons Best Pale Ale malt, but from reading around this needs a few more things adding. I've also picked up some Carapils, and have been recommended to also add some Vienna malt. The rough ratio i'm planning for so far is 83% Pale Ale Malt, 12% Vienna and 5% Carapils.
Does this sound reasonable? Second question, is the ordering and timing of things. Should I add all 3 for the full mash time? (149 for 1hr)
Lastly, i've not used the ACE boiler before and i'm eager to learn as much as I can about the correct processes to follow. Are there any decent step by step guides out there?
Thanks!
