SO my LHBS is probably going under and couldn't get any more stock, meaning: no extract. I decided that it was high time I do a full-blown a.g. since I have a lauter tun and a few big kettles and stop avoiding the inevitable. I've got all my schedule mapped out for doing it, anyone see any holes?
6.2# Belgian Pale malt
2# Rye Malt
1# Wheat malt
1# Oats (rolled, gonna cook em first to gelatinize)
1# cane sugar
2oz Saaz 3.2%aa 60 min
1oz Saaz 3.2%aa 30 min
1oz Saaz 3.2%aa 1 min (flameout)
WLP568 Belgian Style Saison ale yeast made into a big one gallon starter with 1lb of unknown dme, 1/2tsp yeast energizer, and 3/4tsp yeast nutrient. The tube of yeast is 7 days past it's "best by" date so I'm making a big starter to compensate.
-Mash in at target temp 152 (~164) with 3.3 gallons of water
-Stir every 10-20 mins and adjust temp if necessary
-Vorlauf after 1 hr (drain off ~1gal runnings and recycle them back in to clear
grains from line)
-Collect first runnings and set them on stove to start boil
-add sparge water, 5.3 gallons at 170, wait ten minutes and collect second runnings in kettle
-get to boiling temp and add hops to schedule, clean lauter tun while waiting, cool wort in ice bath, add starter and let er rip!
