Hello everyone!
I'm new here and would like inputs on my second all-grain batch.
I'm planning to brew an English IPA. Here are the details of my recipe.
Made it from scratch using information found here and there about the different ingredients I chose:
---------------------------------------------------------
Name: Shambolic IPA
Boil Size: 39.50 l (10.43 gal)
Post Boil Volume: 30.98 l (8.18 gal)
Batch Size (fermenter): 26.00 l (6.87 gal)
Bottling Volume: 24.00 l (6.34 gal)
Estimated OG: 1.066 SG
Estimated Color: 18.5 EBC (9.4 SRM)
Estimated IBU: 60.0 IBUs
Brewhouse Efficiency: 65.00 %
Est Mash Efficiency: 74.5 %
Boil Time: 120 Minutes
Single infusion mash at 2.5 l/kg water/grain ratio (1.2 qt/lb)
Grains:
7.00 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (Bairds) (15 lbs 6.9 oz)
1.00 kg Munich 20L (Briess) (2 lbs 3.3 oz)
0.50 kg Biscuit (Dingemans) (1 lbs 1.6 oz)
Hops: (all Pellets except Leaf for Dry Hop)
50.00 g Target [10.00 %] - Boil 75.0 min (1.76 oz)
25.00 g Goldings, East Kent [4.70 %] - Boil 45.0 (0.88 oz)
25.00 g Goldings, East Kent [4.70 %] - Boil 14.0 min
25.00 g Goldings, East Kent [4.70 %] - Boil 3.0 min
25.00 g Goldings, East Kent [4.70 %] - Boil 1.0 min
56.00 g Fuggles [3.90 %] - Dry Hop 10.0 Days (1.98 oz)
Misc:
0.75 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 7.0 mins)
Yeast:
Burton Ale (White Labs #WLP023) (With an appropriate starter calculated using Mr.Malty)
Water:
I plan to copy the Burton on Trent water profile from Beersmith using salts and 49 liters of Montreal water based on Montreal's 2010 water profile.
In order of Ca, Mg, Na, SO4, Cl, HCO3 (ppm):
Montreal 2010 : 30.7 , 7.9 , 12.0 , 24.2 , 23.5 , 106.0
Burton on Trent : 295.0 , 45.0 , 55.0 , 725.0 , 25.0 , 300.0
To reach Burton, I need to add: 47g of Gypsum, 20.7g of Epsom salt, 8.6g of Baking soda, 5.4g of Chalk.
---------------------------------------------------------
Don't over analyze my Efficiency and Boil time, as I'll modify the recipe hops addition live depending on the efficiency of the mash I'll be getting. My first all-grain mash only got me to 65% but I did no mash out and had trouble with my sparge temperature and barely sparged at 65-70 degrees Celcius (149 - 158 F). I'm hoping my nice CPVC manifold will give me more with decent mashout and sparge temperature. So I'll try to reach a decent gravity and ajust the boil time to reach my target batch volume.
My main points are:
If I was to boil for 120 minutes... Is there a reason I shouldn't? What's the longest time I should boil? Do I risk caramelizing my wort?
Is the Irish Moss addition right? I read 15 minutes before the end of the boil was actually too much... Quantity ok?
Is the Burton on Trent water profile the right one for an English IPA? I read the high HCO3 was going to make the hops sharper.
I read I should mash at 65.5 Celcius (150 F) for 90 minutes to get more fermentables and let me have a more attenuating wort.
What about the grains? (Too bad no UK Munich grain at my LHBS but the rest is pretty UK )
Feel free to comment on my recipe, I really appreciate it. Can't wait to brew this...!
Thanks and
