HB, I would have thought the OG to be a bit higher with that grain bill and mash temp. 12 lbs and 152 What is the reason it's so low? Just looking to learn...

Pretty cool recipe....and I'm intrigued by the 4 lbs of pilsner in it. Are you doing a 60 minute boil since the pilsner is not the primary grain? As mtsoxfan said....Just looking to learn...

Oh... just read it was a 6 gal ferment. I guess that would account for some points.

I love the hop selection. Almost all pretty high alphas but with great flavors.

@mtsoxfan you are correct the 1 gallon difference account for the lower than what most expect for the OG. The reason for a 6 gallon ferment is that I expect a 5 gallon recipe to yield 5 gallons when it is kegged or bottled. Just chef logic.

@BlackDuck Thanks for catching that!! The boil time is 90 min not 60.

@Beer-lord Yep on the hops. I have decided to the the late additions as a whirlpooled hopstand, not sure on the time at least 30 mins.

Thanks for catching the errors guys. These pain meds have really messed up my thinking!!
