input / advice needed. m/o smash small no sparge need ideas

[frankjones]

Hi folks. I'm going to do a M/O Smash

Small batch of 1.5 gallons

I have never had a beer (that I know of) with Maris otter and would like to get the taste and flavor of the M/o. Only.

I have. Hops choice of cascade. Hallertau. Or sazz

And I have. Either. Safale o5. Or safale o4. Or muntons ale

What temp so you think I would get best results for no sparge mash/steep

Can someone offer ideas of what combo of hops and yeast will make the malt flavor of the M/o. Shine thru ?

Any advice will be really helpful.

Hallertau- us05

152 for 60 min
hopping rate about 25 ish
you will get basically pure MO

Ferment at 66ish and no higher than 70

Hopping rate about 25 ish.. Don't know what that is.

My last no sparge small batch I got 79% efficiency at 90 minutes the last 30 minutes I basically stood over the pot and dipped the biab very thoroughly

Is that too long for 152 temp?

 

[PastorofMuppets]

no 90 is ok.

I meant 25ish IBU sorry

Thanks for the input! What I do is make myself little notes in my brew record to come back and report on my end product! So I'll def put an update. Thank again.
