Howdy,
I'm looking to convert a partial extract recipe i did to an all grain recipe.
I can post the entire recipe if that's better, but i was wondering if there's a rule of thumb developed to 1 tin of Black Rock Unhopped Amber LME to grain?
The BR website says the ingredients of their Amber Malt Extract are:
Lager malt
Crystal malt
Black malt
Water
Caramel
What i'd guessed at was:
1.85kg Pilsner Malt
0.18kg Crystal, Med
0.025kg Black Malt or Roast Barley
This is pretty close to the same OG, FG, EBC; using similar ingredients.
I wasn't sure if i should be using Amber malt also/instead?
I have lots of different grains courtesy of the last BB: Pilsner, MO, Vienna, Victory, Munich 2, Wheat, Simpson's Amber & Chocolate & Med crystal (plus Pale & Dark by the time this happens), Midnight Wheat, CaraAroma, (plus CaraBohemian by the time this happens), Melanoiden.
Will also get some Roast Barley for another recipe.
Is there a better way of doing this with what i've got?
The flavour of the partial recipe i did came out really nicely - a slight caramel undertone i think, with a light hop presence & bitterness. Done with Kolsch yeast at ~18°C which i think added a really nice (& clean) element to it.
For reference, the entire recipe is:
FV vol = 21L
1.5kg BR Amber LME
1kg LDME
0.1kg Wheat DME
0.15kg Med Crystal
0.2kg Munich 1
0.5kg Vienna
0.2kg Victory
Mashed at 67°C for 60mins, hopped to 22 IBU (33 IBU w HCF calculated).
OG = 1050, FG = 1013, EBC = 21
[Now, there was a slight disaster in brewing - boil-over meaning i compensated by putting in more Wheat DME to compensate, so i might've overdone it by 0.1kg or so.
Either way, i ended up having to dilute the FV volume out to 27L to get the OG down to 1049. I didn't add that much Wheat DME, so i'm assuming my mash yield was higher than expected; but i don't think that would've cranked it that high...who knows?]
I was surprised at how much i liked this, so i'm super super keen to replicate it in all grain - it can only be better!!
Help most appreciated.
