Just had a pint from batch #3. This one didn't clear as it usually does, but it still tastes awesome!

I've been wanting to make an all Amarillo Ale since seeing the Basic Brewing Video "15 minute Amarillo Ale". I noticed that James Spencer used 6 lb of DME and a full pound of Crystal 60. Anyone make that variant and can compare and contrast to this one (seems like slightly lower ABV (~5.6 vs. ~6.5) and more color and sweetness).

With a 15 min boil, the IBU in the Spencer recipe via Tasty Brew is 52 for a full boil, 35 for a 2 gal boil.

Interesting that the recipe in this thread shows 46 IBU, but when I plug it into the Tasty Brew calculator with a 5 gal batch, 2 gal boil it comes up with 63 IBU!

Also checked Hopsdirect.com and their Amarillo is around 9% AA these days which should give a little hop boost even without the extra oz.

Just racked mine into secondary after about 10 days in primary. I'm dry hopping with another ounce of Amarillo 7.5% AA. Can't wait to give this a try though, it already smells great.

This looks like a great recipe for me to try as I just made the True Brew IPA kit and it came with Muntons Amber LME which made the beer really dark. Next time I was going to swap that out for Light DME because I feel the color affects the way you look at you IPA and dried is easier to measure. Awesome recipe, Ill let you know how it turns out when I make it.

If I wanted to do this as a partial mash, could I just use 3 pounds of DME and then make up for the rest of the sugars by using Marris Otter or two row? I assume I could just input the recipe into a calculator until I got close to the original SG and FG. Sound right?

Absolutely! Just make sure you adjust the hops to account for your boil size if you make any changes to that. You shouldn't need to adjust the grain bill on the specialty grains at all though.

Edit: A special thanks to Rick500 for answering questions in this thread, I have been derelict in my duties as recipe creator. I've been somewhat afk from HBT for many moons due to RL issues, but I am hoping to be back. Really glad this beer has seen such a tremendous response, thanks gang!

It should be the same, but here's a brewing calculator. Just plug in your information to get all the info on your beer. Estimated OG, FG, SRMs, IBUs, and ABV.
