Hi,
I am looking to brew the following
APA - 1.055 OG
7.02 kg MaltEurop Australia Ale (4.1 EBC) Grain 83.75 %
0.31 kg MHB - Amber Malt (45.0 EBC) Grain 3.67 %
0.31 kg MHB - Munich (16.0 EBC) Grain 3.67 %
0.25 kg MHB - Wheat Malt (3.3 EBC) Grain 2.94 %
23.97 gm Magnum [14.00 %] (60 min) Hops 19.8 IBU
23.97 gm Centennial [10.00 %] (10 min) Hops 5.1 IBU
23.97 gm Cascade [7.80 %] (10 min) Hops 4.0 IBU
26.00 gm Cascade [7.80 %] (0 min) Hops -
26.00 gm Centennial [10.00 %] (0 min) Hops -
0.50 kg Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 EBC) Sugar 5.96 %
Final Volume being 38L
Beersmith says that with my gear (36L mash tun, 50L kettle) I will need to drain the MT, sparge and then sparge again.
My question/s are
- Is this sparging process OK? I normally only do it in two steps (add top water then drain, then add more and drain)
- Would you up the Corn Sugar (Dextrose) to 1kg and decrease the malt to achieve 1.055 OG? In beersmith this brings the sparge process back to my normal routine. Just worried about the change in flavour (maybe?)
