Recipes 

12.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L
1.50 lb Corn Sugar (Dextrose)

1.00 oz Centennial [10.00 %] (30 min) (First Wort Hop)
1.00 oz Chinook [13.00 %] (60 min)
1.00 oz Centennial [10.00 %] (30 min)
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (1 min)

Dry Hop
.5 oz Chinook
1 oz Centennial

Mash low 149 - 152. Use something like WLP007 with a huge starter.

I know if you're adding corn sugar it's not 100% all grain, but it really helps to dry the beer out. **** the naysayers.

What do you think, sirs?

looks good! I'm guessing by the bill this is 5 gallons correct?

hmm... looks like I have everything I would need to make this in 2.5 gallon except maybe the corn sugar. I think I have 40l. either way I can always pick it up.

looks like I need to adjust beersmith FWH to 30 min. I've never done FWH (as I've never done AG so that kinda goes hand in hand)

Yeah, I did it 5 gallons because that's what I'm use to dealing with (5.5 actually) and because it can be split in half easily.

Hell, I don't even know if we have 40L. I know we have 55L for sure.

what if I hit too highefficiency and end up with like a 1.10?

I set it to 70%. We can move it around some. I hit 74% my first try at AG. But then again, that's me .

If it's too high, we could dillute it, or like I said, we could aim a little higher from the get go.

I don't know necessarily from experience but I have heard corn sugar gives a more hoochy flavor than say honey or something like that which would also dry it out, just my 2 cents.
