Notes: BASE MALT: obviously, I should be using MO, but I don't have it to hand, so I'm adding ~2% vienna and ~2% munich to the pilsner base to increase complexity. I also have torrified wheat and oats that I need to use up. I'll put equal amounts in.
SPECIALITY MALT: My situation is that I need to use up a bunch of mixed malts. I am planning to split the base wort in two and, having separately steeped and boiled two different speciality malt bills, add these to two different fermenters. To maximise the difference between the two resultant beers, one will be on the light side the other on the dark...
I developed a very simple formula using the average colour of the speciality malts. It is based around a BYO article on English bitter, that containing three principles:
1) Speciality malts can have a colour of 40-150L.
2) These should not exceed 10% of the grist.
3) The higher the colour, the lower the percentage of grist: "A bitter with 10% 150 °L crystal malt may not be cloying, but it can be too intense a flavor for this style."
For a starting point, I decided that a 150L malt cannot exceed 7.5% of grist. Then just took a linear scale based on that.
Speciality Malt grist 1:
0.15kg Crisp Crystal 100
0.65kg Dingemans Aromatic

Notes: "No Pa. I love him."
lighter version of Czech Premium Pilsner.
if you have Saaz, use that for the late boil and you can switch out the FWH for Magnum or something high AA.
This was changed recently to use all Sterling (Saaz sub and I have a bunch around) and Munich II. The result was great so I updated the base recipe.
2019-12-11: Removed 400g of pils hoping to get < 4% next time. Which will be soon. This is super delicious.
2020-1-28: original: 3.2kg pils for 24L; updated to 2.5kg
keep 800g munich II same, bumped up FWH 2g for 28 IBU
also scaled to 44L since I'll be making double batches of this from now on. |

Notes: Actually added 3kg of LME, but it only added 1.018 of OG
Only added 30L of water, because there was less grain to soak it up
Bizarrely seemed to hit 1.050 OG, which was weird because it produced a lot of wort - a full 25L from 30L in the mash. |
