Hey All,
This will be my third go at a Jalapeno Ale. The first is bottled, the second in primary and I want this third one to be brewed this week. This is my first attempt at my own recipe the others were tweaks made to a kit.
Since I'm a beginner with a beginner's setup I'll be sticking to extract. Here is my ingredient list.
6 lbs Light DME
1 lbs Specialty Grains - Crystal 20L
1 lbs Specialty Grains - Crystal 40L
1 Whirfloc Tablet
1.5 oz. Chinook pellot hops (Bittering)
1.0 oz. Cascade whole leaf hops (Aroma)
1.0 oz. Centennial whole leaf hops (Aroma)
0.5 oz. Centennial whole leaf hops (Aroma)
0.5 oz. Cascade whole leaf hops (Aroma)
0.5 lbs Jalapeno peppers (with seeds, vein)
And the directions:
Heat 2.5 gallons of water to 160 degrees
Add muslin bag of specialty malts to the water, hold temperature for 30 minutes.
Remove muslin bag
Take off heat
Dissolve 6 lbs of LDME in the water
Bring to a boil (60 Minute Boil)
Add 1.5 oz Centennial bittering pellot hops (60 minutes)
Add 1.0 oz. Cascade whole leaf hops (45 minutes)
Add 1.0 oz. Centennial whole leaf hops (30 minutes)
Add 0.5 oz. Centennial whole leaf hops (15 minutes)
Add 1 whirfloc tablet
Add 0.5 oz. Cascade whole leaf hops (5 minutes)
Add 0.5 pounds of Jalapeno peppers with seeds and veins (5 minutes)
Remove hop bags
Cool to 75 degrees
Top off to five gallons
Aerate
Pitch Yeast
Primary
I want something slightly bitter with a good floral/citrus aroma. Not too hoppy but enough to please hop-heads. Thoughts? Comments? Anything glaring I should rethink?
Thanks!
