So I am entering my first homebrew contest here in Oregon during the end of September. I am really excited and this will be my fifth beer brewed. I decided that I should enter under the American Pale Ale category and this is the recipe I came up with:
OG: 1.051 FG: 1.011 5.25 Gallons
6 lbs. Light DME
1 lbs crystal 10
4 oz. Crystal 40
Hop Schedule:
1 oz. Nugget @ 60 min
.5 oz. Amarillo @ 30 min
.25 oz. Amarillo @ 15 min
.25 oz. Amarillo @ 0 min
1 oz. Amarillo @ Dry Hop 7 Days
Safale US-05 Yeast
I entered this into BeerSmith and it meets all the criteria for an APA, but I am feeling like my grain schedule is a little weak compared to other pale ales I've done, but it looks ok when it's all in front of me on BeerSmith.
Also, this Lompoc C-Note Imperial Pale Ale I'm drinking right now is making me want to enter into the Imperial IPA category wooooooooo for 100 IBU's!!!!
