Hello Everyone,
I have just bought all of my grains and hops for my next brew. I am making an American Red Ale, kind of a Lagunitas Lucky 13 type beer. I know that they use a good amount of wheat and dry hop it with Amarillo and Simcoe. That being said, here is my recipe:
Malt:
-3 lbs. Gold DME
-1 lb. Amber DME
-2 lb. Pale 2-Row
-2 lb. Wheat Malt
-.5 lb. Munich
-.5 lb. Caramel 60
-.5 lb. CaraRed
-.5 lb. Melanoidin
-.5 lb. Victory
- 2 oz. Caramel 120
-2.5 oz Roasted Barley
Hops:
-1 oz. Summit (60 mins)
-1 oz. Willamette (35 mins)
-1 oz. Centennial (15 mins)
-.5 oz. Centennial (0 mins)
-1 oz. Amarillo (Dry Hop)
-1 oz. Simcoe (Dry Hop)
Yeast:
-Wyeast Pacman
I have never brewed a Red Ale before so any input on this recipe would be awesome. I am shooting for a malty, deep red brew with a very in-your-face hop profile. The roasted barley is one of the main factors that I am unsure about. I want it to give the beer a deep red color but I do not want a roasty taste to it. BrewSmith estimates the OG to be around 1.068.
How am I looking?!
