Up for new challenges

[Moondoggy]

I want to brew my first all grain 5 gallon batch and I will be batch sparging.

I have access to a great local brew shop for ingredients.

The only thing that is for certain is that I'll be using WLP002 yeast that I am currently parallel culturing. (For the pale ale)

I am looking for a recipe of the pale ale flavor but I like chocolate stout as well.

Please don’t be afraid to limit yourself into providing just one recipe.

Remember this will be my first all grain so please be detailed in how I make this.

Mmmmm, I have this one brewing currently

Pale horse ale

8.5 Lbs 2 row malt
.5 Lbs 20L crystal malt
1 Oz Galena hops
.5 Oz cascade hops
1 tsp Irish moss

I prefer to steep my specialty grains instead of mashing, I brink the pot up to 156 degrees and steep/mash the Crystal malt for 20 min.

Remove the Crystal malt and bring the temp up to 165 degrees.

pour in the 8.5 lbs of 2 row malt and mash at a temprature of 156 for 90 min.

Mash out

sparge and drain the wort SLOWLY. SLOWLY. SLOWLY. Take your time, drink some beer

Boil the wort and add hops as follows

Boil 90 min 1 oz galena
Boil 20 min .5 oz cascade
Boil 10 min Irish moss

Cool, I hope you have a Wort chiller, if not get one soon.

Once cold take a gravity reading and oxygenate. Pitch yeast and ferment

Primary for 3-5 days
Secondary for 5-7 days
Bottle or keg
Condition 1 week
Drink.

Hope it works out for you

How much water do I steep the grains in? Yes, I do have a wort chiller.

This sounds mmm good!

I just bought everything for this one.

That is a lot of grain to crush and my arm is tired from all that cranking to crush the grains.

I think I'll build a cooler for batch sparging next weekend and try it that way.

[Sunriver]

I start off with 7 to 7 1/2 gal of water. evaporation will remove about a gal or plus. If you go with 7 gal fill to 5 if you go below.

I will mail you those recipes tomorrow.
