Notes

The biscuit and Honey malts come through well. Interesting pale ale. Had to choose English style to get the style match to turn green? Id call it a straight up pale with an interesting twist.

Cheers, Jim

Hello Jim,could you please clarify about the slot times for the mash and the temperatures?thanks!

Jimbo64 • 05/29/2012 at 02:22pm
Hi Lucio,Â I do a simple 60 min mash at 155 or so.Â Actually, Im lazy, since most all my brews are 11-12 pounds of grain I just use a fixed 14 quarts at 170 degrees for the mash. (I have a dipstick marked at 14 qts to make it easy)Â It always falls in the 153-157 range.Â If I do a heavier beer I'll add about a quart per pound. After a while you just run on autopilot and it becomes very much like how grandma cooks in the kitchen. :) Â I then doÂ 8 more qts boiling for the mashout after 60 min mash above, this brings the mash to 170.Â Batch sparge method. Â Just dump it in, stir, recycle a couple quarts to settle the bed and clarify and drain into the brewpot.Â Then I do a second batch sparge with 8 more qts at 170.Â Stir again, recycle a quart or 2 again to settle the bed, drain and start the boil and hop schedule. Batch sparging is easy and works great.Â I get 70-75% efficiency.Â Summary;<br>14 qts mash at 155 deg for 60 minutes (170 deg water)<br>8 qts boiling for mashout<br>8 qts at 170 for second batch sparge.
