Thought it better here than in the general all grain thread. Just working on a Baltic Imperial stout for when we get back from Christmas.
Based on some thoughts by @Northern_Brewer , looking at a Belgian abbey ale. He recommends WLP540 or BE-256; thoughts on Wyeast 1214, Abbey Ale?
My usual efficiency is 80%. I pulled it down to 70%, which may mean my OG is higher than anticipated. Still learning parameters on the new system. I'm limited by my Igloo mash tun so will likely be doing 3.5 gallons.
Malts:
55% GP
3.3% Simpson's Chocolate
11.7% Amber
8.3% Brown
5% black patent
6.7% Simpson's DRC
3.3% Invert 2
6.7% Invert 4
Mash at 150F x 90 minutes. Mashout at 170 x 20 minutes. Anticipated OG = 1.107.
Hops:
Anticipated IBU (note this presumes a 10% hopstand utilization): 85
1 oz Challenger (7.00% AA) - 90 min.
1 oz. Northdown (5.2%) 45 min
.75 oz. Phoenix (11.5% AA) 15 min.**
1 oz. Bramling Cross (5.10% AA) 10 min.
1 oz. EKG (5.50% AA) - knockout, WP and 30 min. hopstand.
**The only Phoenix I can get is 2020. If that's not recommended, thinking of Northdown at 15 as well as 45 min. in place of the Phoenix.
