I'm interested in doing a BIAB SMASH-style to keep things simple. I picked Marris Otter for my malt and Galaxy for my hop. Going 2.5 gallons because I only have a 5 gallon brewpot, looking at a single pot, no sparge style BIAB.
Here's what I have so far:
6 lbs Marris Otter
.5 oz Galaxy (60 min)
.5 oz Galaxy (20 min)
.5 oz Galaxy (10 min)
.5 oz Galaxy (0 min)
Safale US-05
1 tsp Irish moss (40 min)
Pre-boil volume: Here's the first spot things get interesting
Hopville says 2.88 gallons which I know isn't right
Beersmith says 3.88 gallons
"Brew in a bag Summary" @ Brew Geeks: 4.1 gal (2.5 gal (batch size) + 1 gal (boil off per 60 min) + .6 gal (grain absorption for 6 pounds)
I'm thinking 4.1 gallon will work for my first attempt.
152 F mash temp
60 min mash time
60 min boil
Brew Smith sez: 1.056-1.075 OG, 1.012 FG
IBU: 89
Do these numbers look right? I'm shooting for an IPA (hell a drinkable beer would great at this point) but 89 seems a little high.
Also, Beersmith is assuming 65%, is that reachable for first time BIAB?
Any help is appreciated.
