Hey guys just wanted your opinion on Rauchbier Ale recipe I plan on brewing soon. Seems how I don't have the right set up to properly make a lager I decided to just change it to an ale.
Grain Bill:
-5Lbs. Weyermann smoked Malt
-4Lbs. Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner
-1Lbs. Briess 10L Munich
-4oz Weyermann Dehusked Carafa II
-.5Lbs. Weyermann Carafoam
Probably just a single step infusion mash at 152F and mash out at 170F
OG: 1.055
FG: 1.013
IBU: ~20
SRM: 21.78
EFF: 70%
I'm unsure on the hops was thinking Tettnanger, or hallertauer, single addition, aiming for about ~20 IBU's
I originally was going to use WLP001 but someone suggested using WLP029 to get that lager like feel. What do you think?
Thanks any help would be appreciated!
(I based this around the BJCP guidelines)
Edit: Added some Carafoam for Head retention
