Loved the FW Wookey Black, so I'm brewing something along those lines this weekend.

1 lb. Black Prinz malt
1 lb. Midnight Wheat malt
4 oz. Acidulated malt

Water:
RO water treat with CaCl2, CaSO4 & MgSO4

Mash @ 152°F

Hop Bill:
2.5 oz. Magnum (10.0% AA) @ 90 min.
1 oz. each of Galaxy (13.0% AA) & Amarillo (9.3% AA) @ 25 min.
2 oz. each of Galaxy (13.0% AA) & Amarillo (9.3% AA) @ flameout
1,5 oz. each (per carboy) of Galaxy (13.0% AA) & Amarillo (9.3% AA) @ dry hop

Hit all my targets. Lag time before I saw visible activity was about 18 hours. Fermenting nicely at 65°F now.

Can't wait to sample this when I rack it.

very nice looking recipe there. My only suggestion would be to up your yeast pitching rate. May add an extra half pack or so next time.

I always add extra yeast since I just sprinkle it on top. I buy bricks of yeast and vacuum seal it.
