Notes

=================================
3/3/2021
brew day tomorrow. trying to solve this oat issue. some people say that whole oats you cereal mash (with base malt), and quick oats have been gelatinized, others says also that quick oats benefit from cereal mash, others also say quick oats benefit from just regular cooking. im hoping the regular cooking is the solution so that is what im going to do, except i dont have time to do that in the morning so i am going to cook it up tonight. cook according to box instructions but with more water.

i was probably originally planning to boil for 120 on gas but might not be able to do that because of schedule tomorrow so i will prob use the ekettle and maybe try for 90 minutes. i guess that means i should only collect 7 gallons at most from sparge.

im hoping with double grain crush and oat cook i might get better than 60% efficiency but wth im boosting a little base malt and dme to get to 10% at 60. if we go over then great.
=================================

updating after 5 years! massive changes :

changed to all grain recipe. mostly the same except addition of two row and acid malt. adding a little DME to boost to 10%
simplifying coffee. just use 4oz of blanchards something or other. coarse crushed into secondary for 24 hours (like cold brew)
** (for the record the original recipe calls for 2oz added at flameout - like hot coffee; then the other 2oz added as cold brew in secondary. interesting idea but i think i will stick with the cold brew only idea).
estimating 60% efficiency which is risky given the oats. but we will collect more than 7 gallons and boil for 2 hours using propane setup.
mash at 155
still need to :
DONE review original recipes for further insight,
DONE check the hops selection and IBU
possibly consider water profile changes? at least should input updated water profile to check pH for mash
NO consider london yeast?
YES should DEF use RVA brand yeast though.
MABES consider doing a gallon or more of virginia maple syrup...
DONE consider reducing some of the roasted malt. really seems like a lot. SRM is over 50 which could be a concern
** BYO SRM is 59 so lets just roll with it
