I'll be doing my first partial soon, and need some advice regarding my self concocted recipe
2kg liquid malt
80g saaz (60,45,30,15)
200g crystal grain
w34/70
ferment volume 14 litres
- steep grains in 2 litres water 70 degrees for 30 mins and put aside
- boil 500 g malt in 4 litres water for the hopping schedule
- with 15 minutes to go, add the rest of 1.5kg malt and grains water
- pour this all into my sanitised fermenter and shove in fridge for a couple of hours to get the temperature down
- when temp has cooled, top up water to 14 litres, shake like crazy and pitch yeast
i used the beer designer spreadsheet and this seems to fit the style well for a german pilsner, a couple of questions;
1) does the recipe sound ok ?
2) is it ok to splash the hot wort when pouring into the fermenter ?
3) is it ok to put the hot wort in the fridge to rapidly chill it to pitching temp ?
thanks for any help, this may be the first step toward all grain
