I finally decided on a recipe for the baby beer. The goal will be 5 gallons of packaged beer or at least 24x bomber bottles.
OG at 65% efficiency 1.160, FG 1.039, 15.8% ABV, 78 IBU (Second pitch of WLP099 should hopefully lower the FG to 1.021 with an ABV of 18%)
28# Maris Otter
4# Munich 10L
1# Crystal 60L
2oz Magnum at 60min
1oz Fuggles at 15min
1oz Fuggles at 0min
Mash at 146° for 30 minutes then raise to 156° and hold for 30 minutes. Collect 8 gallons and boil for 90 minutes.
Wyeast 1272 American Ale II – Starting pitch @ 1 gallon (decanted)
White Labs WLP099 Super High Gravity Ale Yeast – Finishing pitch @ 1 gallon (decanted)
