For anyone who's been in the Southeast, you've likely come across Sweetwater Brewery and their #1 beer is their 420 Extra Pale Ale. This was my go-to beer for years, always had the fridge stocked with it. I'm trying to get a good clone, this would become my "house" pale ale.
I need to build my pipeline up a little so am looking to do a 10 gallon extract batch this time (due to time and my HLT and MLT not quite big enough).
Based on a couple recipes I've seen on this forum and elsewhere, I came up with this in beer smith (took a 5 gallon all grain recipe and doubled, then converted using beer smith). Would love to get some sets of eyes on this before I buy the ingredients and would like to brew this week.
12 lbs 12.0 oz Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM)
1 lbs Amber liquid extract
7 lbs Carapils/Dextrine (steep)
1 lbs Caravienne (steep)
2 oz cascade 50 minutes
2 oz cascade 25 minutes
1 oz cascade 5 minutes
1 oz cascade flameout
ferment with S-05 or 1056
dry hop with 2 oz cascade
8 Lbs seems like a lot of specialty grain to steep, even for a 10 gallon batch?
