I may just brew that this weekend...been kickin around what I might brew and this could be the winner!
plus my buddy who is getting into it wants to help and loves IPA's.
A few weeks ago I lost ALL my recipes (that's what happens when you don't back your s**t up) and have to start over. I still may have some receipts from other brews but will have to go in search of. So the recipe for my first "newly" reconstructed brew list is under my recipe list...(scratch that...I can't figure out how to post my recipe there, so here it is) It's a nice red with nice hop aroma...(haven't tried it yet tho, still dry hopping) but so far looks and smells good...actually tasted when I racked to secondary...can't wait for the real thing. My BHE was a bit lower then I expected but I think it was due to only sparging twice and leaving some behind (still not sure about the calculator in BS).
I should have FWHed my 45 & 30 min hops as well...hence this thread! I also used Safeale 05 as well...must have forgot to enter that in. Most of the grains I used were Belgian but BS really didn't have certain distinctions for all the grains...I can always enter them in I guess.
