Hi all,
This is going to be my 2nd attempt at creating my own recipe... still learning though I want to make a relatively balanced (but still IPA hop-worthy) red rye ale, somewhere along the lines of founders red rye. my grainbill consists of:
9# 2-row
2# rye malt
1# Melanoidin malt
1# Crystal 80
.5# Carapils
Ive purchased 2oz each of simcoe, centennial and amarillo pellets, but am curious as to what you guys think would be the best use of these hops in this style. I was thinking of simply alternating every 15 min between the three, starting with the simcoe due to its high AA's. beer calc is giving me a 1.068 og for 5 gal @ 14 srm. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!
