Check my RIS

[MrBIP]

This is about 4-6 weeks out in the brew schedule, but would be a new style for me (in brewing).

only thing I can see is almost a pound of black malt, better add it late or cut back some or will over power the taste

I think for a RIS the bill looks fairly decent. However I would reduce the mash temp to no more than 154. At 157 I can't see you getting the 78% attenuation listed for WLP-007, I would guess closer to 70%. It just all depends if you want it on the dry side or sweet side.

I was caught off guard by the total lbs for the grain bill. I have seen 10 gallon batches with less grain. It is going to be a monster. I hope you have invested in a blow off tube, because a standard air lock is not going to cut it .

 

[MrBIP]

Thanks for quick feedback on it. I'll keep researching and tweaking.
I found some other recipes and wonder if I'm little overboard on everything not base malt... might tone the whole thing down a bit.
Yes, always use a big fat blow off tube .. with every beer, regardless. Better safe than sorry.

oh your right looks like a 10 gallon recipe cut down to 5 your going to want at max 15 pounds of grain or else might not fit in the mash tun lol

 

[MrBIP]

Oh, it will fit, already calculated to be sure.

Looks like lots of dark malt. Will be a strong roast flavor. But it is a RIS. Let me know how you come out with efficiencies and a big grain bill like that. I use a 10 gal tun and can only rinse enough to get 50 to 60% extraction running that much grain. I have been making a small weaker beer with the sugars left in grain.

I have tweaked the recipe since originally posting.

.. yes, that. realized the other day that this could be a two-for-one beer.
