Hello,
I am a new member here and have been brewing for over 10 years. I mainly brew German and English style beers but I want to make an APA for my next beer. Last year I purchased a pound of Bravo hops for $9 so I thought I would make a beer to try them out. APA seemed like the best choice.
I do not really want a hop bomb, just a clean, pretty crisp but malty beer. One challenge is that I do not care for Crystal malt, so I am looking for a way to get the color between orange and light red. Sort of a little darker than a Mirror Pond Pale Ale.
Here is what I have so far:
80% Great Western 2-row
10% Vienna
7% Munich
? for Color
24 IBUs of Bravo Hops at 60min
6 IBUs of Bravo Hops at 5 min
WLP001 Yeast
Thanks for your suggestions.
