8.5 # light lme
1 # us crystal 40
0.5 lbs Vienna malt
and an uber complicated hop schedule - I punched this in to a ibu calc and came out with 62 IBU's.
Magnum hops 17% AA - 1oz @60, 0.25oz @30, 0.5oz @5
Cascade hops 8.6% AA - 0.5oz @20, 1oz @10, 0.5oz @5
Amarillo hops 11.2% AA - 0.5oz @2, 0.5oz @1
2 packets of safale-05
I tried to steep my grains @160° but the temp wouldnt hold for long and it was @ about 150° almost the whole 25 mins. I had an og of 1.062 and lost a ton of wort due to hops.
The day after i pitched the yeast i thought to myself f#ck. I meant to get victory malt and not vienna. I realized that you have to actually mash the vienna malt. But i think it will be fine because A) it was only 1/2 pound and B) it was actually about mashing temp near the whole time - albeit only for 25 mins. Its been in primary for 18 days now and im going to dry hop (in the primary) with an oz of cascade pellets today. What do you guys think of my recipe?
