Brewing a Helles this morning. 10 gallon batch, OG (hopefully) 1.046, 20 IBUs
13.5 lbs. Avangard pils
6.5 lbs. Malteurop 2-row (because I used the last of my sack of Avangard)
2 lbs. Avangard munich
5 oz. Weyermann melanoidin
Following the suggestions of the LoDo boys, I mashed at 144°F for 30 min, 147° for 15 min, and 162°F for 30 min. Heck, I even threw a crushed Campden tablet in the mash.
In the midst of sparging, ready to start the boil. Only hop addition is 4 oz. of 2.9% Hallertau Mittelfruh.
10 am and it is already 73°F. Planning on being done by noon.
Going to split between WY2206 Bavarian and WY2308 Munich.
