Hi all,
I am hoping for some advice on my first partial. I have done a mini 9L BIAB AG before and it turned out pretty good. My equipment is limited at the moment so was thinking of using the 9L method taken from aussiehomebrewer and adding 1.5L of Liquid Dry Malt to make it up to 22L.
This is going to be for my 50th brew, to date I have mainly done kits and bits and a few all extract recipes that have turned out bloody good too.
This is pretty much a rip off of Dr Smurto's AG LCPA clone from this site (thanks!), thoughts, tweaks and anything else welcome. I am looking for something with a lower ABV.

I plan to start with 10L of water as per the aussiehombrewer instructions - can I get away with less with my grain bill?
Also, is a 60 min boil necessary for partial mash? Ideally I would like to do a 30 min boil and increase the Chinook to get my desired IBU.
