Hi guys,
I'd like to do the American Pale Ale out of Brewing with Style, but step it up to a partial mash as the availability of some of the extracts mentioned is hard to come by.
Original recipe:
Light LME 3.67kg
Munich LME 227g
Wheat LME 227g
Steeping grains - Victory 340g.
The 'All grain option' note says I can substitute the light LME for 5.1kg American 2-row, the Munich to be replaced with 340g Munich malt and the wheat extract with 227g wheat malt. Mash temp 67 degree.
I'd like to replace the Munich and the wheat with the all grain option and leave the light LME as the extract. So my recipe should become:
Light LME 3.67kg
Munich malt 340g
Wheat malt 227g
Victory malt 340g.
Will I be OK to mash those grains together? Will there be enough diastatic power in the wheat and munich to not need the 2-row/pale malt? I think it should be OK but just thought I'd ask...
Should I still mash at the same temperature of 67 degrees?
The same book suggests a mash ratio of 3:1. So I'm looking at just under a kilo of grain, so use just shy of 3 litres of water?
Thanks guys.
