After having tried to document as much as possible I developed my first prescription in the Belgian Blond Ale style. Of course I am my first experience I avoided dare and the only concession that I was allowed in the choice of an Anglo-Saxon hops.
I'd love to read your comments on the recipe, you find it balanced? Reflects the style chosen? What would you change you / would you add ?? Thanks in advance to those who want to help

Re: First recipe
I do not know much about recipes for the style. However, i believe that aromatic and biscuit malts both need to be mashed, or you will have unconverted starch in your beer, which may leave it cloudy.

Of course the aromatic and biscuit grains will be first ground and then put into infusion can expect to 30 m with the grain bag while maintaining the temperature between 65 ° and 70 °

Re: First recipe
That should help. There is some weak enzyme activity in those malts, so there is the potential for the starches to be converted to fermentable sugars at 65-70°C. Since the enzyme activity is low, I would consider soaking the grain for 60 min. and keeping the water volume at about 2 qt/pound or 4 L/kg. A small amount of base malt would increase the enzyme content quite a bit.Remy62 wrote:Of course the aromatic and biscuit grains will be first ground and then put into infusion can expect to 30 m with the grain bag while maintaining the temperature between 65 ° and 70 °
