I think I more or less got all my stuff together, so now it is time to start a (small) batch.
I will be doing BIAB and I am thinking of boiling all together (no sparge).
I'm trying to get my head around brewtarget, but not sure if I am doing/using it totally correct, so I would like to check with all of you.
Also, the malt I have is not in their list so I gambled a bit with what I thought was the closest to it....
The type of beer is supposed to be Belgian blonde, although a little lighter in alcohol.
All equipment is new (to me), so I will need to do a lot of measurements etc to fine tune for the next batch
Fermentables:
Walt's lager malt - 0.4 kg
Walt's pilsner malt - 2.0 kg
Hop:
Hallertau 9.1% 10 gram - 1 hour
Saaz 2.4% - 5 gram - 10 min
Saaz 2.4% - 5 gram - 1 min
Yeast
Mangrove Jack Belgian ale M41
One step mash at 67 oC
Heat 16 liter water to a bit above 67 oC
Add finely milled grains and agitate
Insulate and leave for 1 hour
Heat to 77 oC and pull out BIAB bag and drain as much liquid as possible
Bring to boil and keep at rolling boil for an hour
Add hops at required timings
Cool as quick as possible and move to fermenter
Once wort temp is below 28 oC yeast can be added
Move to fermentation fridge set to around 22 oC
I should end up with about 10 liter?
Expected OG - 1052
Expected FG - 1013
Alcohol % - 5.2 %
IBU - 23.9
Does this make some form of sense?
Or am I missing something? or complicating or over simplifying?
