This is my first time making my own recipe. I'm going to be serving this to a lot of people, so I'm going for something that is pretty drinkable. I want a bittering/gravity ratio to be 0.7 - 0.8, and I want a light, clean tasting pale ale with lots of hop aromas, like a dry-hopped Sierra Nevada.
Style American Pale Ale
Batch 5.00 gal
Recipe Characteristics
Recipe Gravity 1.051 OG
Estimated FG 1.013 FG
Recipe Bitterness 39 IBU
Alcohol by Volume 5.0%
Recipe Color 11 SRM
Ingredients
0.50 lb Crystal 40L (Steeped)
0.50 lb Flaked wheat (Steeped)
6.00 lb Light malt extract
0.50 lb Amber malt extract
2.00 oz Generic Hops Pellet 0 minutes
2.00 oz Generic Hops (10%) Pellet 10 minutes
0.50 oz Generic Hops (10%) Pellet 60 minutes
1.00 oz Generic Hops Pellet dry hop
WLP 001 california ale yeast
I didn't specify hops because it depends on what my LHBS has in stock, but the bittering will probably be magnum or centennial, the aroma will be centennial or cascade, and the dry hop will probably be amarillo. Quantities will be adjusted according to alpha acids to reach target IBUs.
I'm steeping flaked wheat for head retention, crystal for color, and the amber malt is for a bit of body.
Any comments, criticisms, or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
