Looking at a final brew for the season to be a BW. here is what i have for a 5 gallon batch
20 lbs crisp maris otter
1/2 lb 75l crystal
2 oz roasted barley
1 oz magnum - 60
2 oz EKG - 20
2 oz EKG - 10
70.74 IBU @1.090
mash at 147-150 for 90
boil for 120
the expected OG is probably close given my efficiency with this system. cooler tun, batch sparging, etc.
i have a 1.050 APA finishing up with wyeast #1056 and plan on racking onto the cake and doing primary for about a month at around 62 or so and then racking into a corny with an airlock and leaving it in the basement at around 62 until sept or oct and then bottling it with a little shot of safale 05 in the bottling bucket along with 3 oz of corn sugar.
what i am looking for is a nice malty BW with a bit of mellow bitterness and nice EKG flavor. something that could be enjoyed next fall/winter and also put aside for a year or 3.
any comments or suggestions?
