Grist Bill:
Amounts are based on a 5 gallon batch with an 80% efficiency.
Pale Malt – 8.0 lbs. (74.4%)
Victory Malt – 1.25 lbs. (11.6%)
Melanoidin Malt – .50 lbs (4.7%)
Crystal Malt 60L – .50 lbs (4.7%)
Crystal Malt 120L – .50 lbs (4.7%)
148F mash temperature for 1-1/2 hrs
90 minute boil, with the following hop
additions for a 5 gallon batch:
Cascade hop addition at start, 20
grams of 6.4% alpha
Nugget hop addition at start, 9 grams
of 14.5% alpha
White Labs 001 yeast
After attenuation, proceed with dry hopping was at ~22 grams hops/gallon beer in the following ratio:
40% Chinook
30% Glacier
20% Nugget
5% Columbus
5% Cascade
For the hop additions, you can increase/decrease the mass of hops added with a direct ratio of whatever percent alpha you end up actually using. For instance, if you find Cascade at 7.2% alpha, then you’d drop the size of the addition as follows: 20g X (6.4/7.2) = 18g.
