Hello,
Is there a standard ratio of malt to 5 gallon batches? I have brewed a bit now and want to start creating my own recipes and I am not seeing a consistent pattern. I understand that different amounts of malt will yield different tastes and body, but I am not sure how much could be too much.
I'd like to stick with partial mash brewing since I've had luck with it. So, lets say for an IPA at 5 gallons, I normally see recipes with 4-6lbs of Pale malt (either liquid or crushed grains) followed by crystal malt. Is there a total amount of malt that I should follow? Such as 6-7 lbs for standard 5 gallon batch?
