Hi, my mate has asked me to try replicating a beer from BrewDog called Elvis Juice.
A grapefruit infused, redish 12 SRM, 6.5% IPA. Very nice indeed.
The beer feels well attenuated, not very dry, medium body.
The brewery publishes a recipe for homebrewers but I don't really think the grain bill is accurate.
84% pale malt, 16% caramalt, no colour specified (I assume 45L to get the colour).
Mash 150F (65.5C) for 75 min.
OG 1.060, FG 1.010 using WY1056.
Do you think a beer with that amount of crystal will ferment down to 1.010?
I really don't think so.
I was planning to cut the crystal to 5% and make up the colour using a bit of carafa and a bit of roast.
Any advice?
Thanks
