Hey All,
Sorry for the quintessential newbie post. I've done (5) 5gal extract brews and (2) 2gal BIAB brews, and I'm pumped for all-grain. I found and converted a 5$ cooler from the SPCA thrift store, so now I have my cooler mash-tun, and I decided to do a Citra/Cascade IPA for my first all-grain batch. Any opinions on the recipe?
Grain Bill:
10# 2-row
1# Crystal 45
1# Carapils
8oz Crystal 60
1.33 qt/lb mash ratio, mash for 1 hour at 152, batch sparge to get a 3 gallon boil. I have a 3.5 gallon brew kettle, so I have to do a partial boil. I used brew365's mash sparge water calculator to figure out my temps and quantities. I am going to add spring water to the carboy to make a 5 gallon batch.
Hop schedule for a 60 minute boil:
FWH 0.5 oz Citra
45min 0.5 oz Citra
30min 0.5 oz Citra
20min 0.5 oz Citra
15min 0.3 oz Cascade
5 min 0.3 oz Cascade
flameout 0.3oz Cascade
dry-hop 1 oz Cascade
dry-hop 1 oz Citra
Pitching onto 1/3 of the yeast cake of a previous batch that used WLP001.
How does the hop schedule look? Is there any reason not to do a partial boil of an all-grain beer if that's what my equipment require? Anything else?
Thanks,
Fred
