I am going to brew Biermuncher's Centennial blonde Ale as 5 gallon AG using a new electric herms system I just put together and I need a little advice.
I entered the recipe into Beersmith (my first try) and selected "Temperature Mash, 1 Step, Light Body" as my mash profile. I thought it was closest to what Herms does. Beersmith says to start by mashing in with water at 161.4 and then do a 60 minute mash at 150 ('ll be recirculating through the Herms coil at 150). It then says raise the mash temp to 168 over the next 10 minutes and then sparge for another 10 minutes with 168 sparge water. (I'll probably just sparge until I have my boil volume and the wort starts to lose color)
Does this sound good or should i use another profile to match what HERMS does ?
Thanks
Bill
