Does anyone have their grain bill handy for a 5 or 6 gal recipe? I tried using the scale method in beer smith, and it does not seem even close to being right. It actually added more flaked wheat, and there was almost 3 lbs. of C60 in there. Is that right? Almost 30% Crystal in this recipe? I tried working it out and this is what I came up with. I need to brew this ASAP to get it aging for fall. The wife is hounding me to make it too haha.
Here is my grain bill so far in BeerSmith:
OG: 1.057 SRM: 17.2 IBU: 14
6.5 lbs 2-Row
2.5 lbs C60
2 lbs. Biscuit (seems like it would be too "bready" with this amount)
1 lb. Flaked wheat
60 oz. roasted canned pumpkin.
Does this seem close? To me it seems like too much Biscuit malt and still maybe too much C60.
The whole thing seems outta whack to me.
Any and all help would be appreciated! Thanks!
I tried to convert the recepie over to a 5 gallon batch and after playing with it for a while this is what I came up with.
