Notes: Notes after several tasting (29/12/20):
Good, malty - remove mineral additions, too much magnesium and calcium. Remove oats, go full 7% terrified wheat. More biscuit / amber malt.
Maybe - 80% Maris otter, 7% crystal light, 7% terrified wheat, 5% biscuit, 1% pale chocolate. Tony bit more hops on aroma (12g both flavour and aroma addition)
Made some changes, but check the acid, doesn't seem to be correct? |

Notes: BASE MALT: obviously, I should be using MO, but I don't have it to hand, so I'm adding ~2% vienna and ~2% munich to the pilsner base to increase complexity. I also have torrified wheat and oats that I need to use up. I'll put equal amounts in.
SPECIALITY MALT: My situation is that I need to use up a bunch of mixed malts. I am planning to split the base wort in two and, having separately steeped and boiled two different speciality malt bills, add these to two different fermenters. To maximise the difference between the two resultant beers, one will be on the light side the other on the dark...
I developed a very simple formula using the average colour of the speciality malts. It is based around a BYO article on English bitter, that containing three principles:
1) Speciality malts can have a colour of 40-150L.
2) These should not exceed 10% of the grist.
3) The higher the colour, the lower the percentage of grist: "A bitter with 10% 150 °L crystal malt may not be cloying, but it can be too intense a flavor for this style."
For a starting point, I decided that a 150L malt cannot exceed 7.5% of grist. Then just took a linear scale based on that.
Speciality Malt grist 1:
0.15kg Crisp Crystal 100
0.65kg Dingemans Aromatic

Notes: Step by Step
I use Crisp Malting’s British Pale Ale malt (made from Maris Otter) as my base grain, but other malts of a similar nature should work well. Remember, the bulk of the flavor comes from the base grain, so try to get British pale ale malt. The crystal malt should also be of British origin as it makes a substantial difference. I have had great success with Simpsons and Bairds, but feel free to substitute any high quality malt of a similar flavor and color from a different supplier. My hops are in pellet form and come from the UK via Hop Union or Hopsteiner.
Mill the grains and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.5 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 148 °F (64 °C). Hold the mash at 148 °F (64 °C) until enzymatic conversion is complete. Infuse the mash with near-boiling water while stirring or with a recirculating mash system raise the temperature to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C). Sparge slowly with 170 °F (77 °C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 5.9 gallons (22.3 L) and the gravity is 1.035.
Add the bittering hops once the wort is boiling, The total wort boil time is 1 hour. During that time add the Irish moss or other kettle finings with 15 minutes left in the boil and add the last hop additions with 3 minutes remaining. Chill the wort to 68 °F (20 °C) and aerate thoroughly. If you have a nice, fresh package of liquid yeast, you can pitch it direct, although making a 1-liter starter is always a good idea.
Ferment around 68 °F (20 °C) until the yeast drops clear. With healthy yeast, fermentation should be complete in a week or less. Allow the lees to settle and the brew to mature without pressure for another two days after fermentation appears finished. Rack to a keg and force carbonate or rack to a bottling bucket, add priming sugar, and bottle. Target a carbonation level of 1–2 volumes depending on your packaging. If you are cask conditioning the beer, add priming sugar, any cask finings (gelatin or isinglass), and possibly dry hop with another ¼–½ oz. (7–14 g) of whole East Kent Goldings. Allow the beer to condition in the cask for several days and serve via a beer engine or by gravity feed at 50–55 °F (10–13 °C).
