UPDATE: Okay, gents, I put the recipe into software this evening and now I can see where a couple of adjustments would be needed, especially for color. Updated recipe as follows:
8 oz CaraPils malt
4 oz CaraMunich malt
4 oz English Medium Crystal malt (~55 L)
2 oz Carafa III (~600 L, for red color adjustment)Crush these specialty malts and steep in 2.7 gallons water as it heats up until you reach 170 F, then pull the steeping bag out. Remove from the heat, then add:
5.5 lb Maris Otter LME
1 lb cane sugar
Stir well to dissolve, then bring to the boil. Then add:
2 oz Northern Brewer hops
Boil for 15 minutes. Then top up with cool, chlorine-free water to hit 5 gallons. Pitch any of the following yeasts, or whatever else you like:
Wyeast 1007
K-97
WLP004
Wyeast 1084
Let ferment in the low to mid 60s F (16-18 C) until the yeast settles out -- could be a couple days, could be a month, depending on the yeast that you selected. Patience. Then package and enjoy.
Cheers and good luck (again).
