Hi guys.
This weekend I'd like to make the beer below. I am a huge fan of the real thing, and since Brewdog released all their recipes online for free I thought why not.
Naturally I have a few questions!
1. Some of the grain is hard to find at the moment. My local shop says to substitute Propino with Morris Otter and Flaked Oats with Naked Malted Oats. Any ideas what the differences might be?
2. The recipe is for 5 gallons. I brew to 1 gallon. Do I just divide quantities by 5? (I realise it's a daft sounding question).
3. The vermont yeast strain below is specially cultivated for Brewdog. I have bought two vials and not sure which to use yet - WHC Lab Liquid Yeast Sanders 150ml, and WHC Lab Liquid Yeast Juice Machine 150ml. Any thoughts? What about quantity for my one gallon? half?
4. Some recipes like this one, does not have the quantity of water to use. Does it vary that much depending on the grains used? (because some of them soak up more than others). If not, I'll go with 3 quarts water for the mash and a gallon for the sparge, as that worked well recently as I was left with a full gallon after the boil.
5. The recipe says to add some hops at whirlpool and some at FV. By this, I would assume the whirlpool I'd add after the boil then at 60mins (remember I am stove top brewing so not really possible to whirlpool) and FV I think stands for fermentation vessel, so basically this is dry hopping right after adding the yeast?
Thanks again everyone
Jonny
