I've recently done a SMaSH APA that I'm waiting to finish. I liked it (sampled at transfer to primary), plus making it was nice and simple. Even if adding more ingredients isn't REALLY more complicated, I like that there are truly 4 ingredients.
With that in mind, here's a recipe I'm thinking about brewing. Keep in mind that I LOVE Simcoe hops. I've used them as the bittering hop for every IPA (or IIPA) I've ever done and have loved all of them.
Ingredients:
**************************
13.00 lb. Maris Otter Pale Malt
2.00 oz. Simcoe (12.2%) FWH (84.1 IBU)
1.00 oz. Simcoe (12.2%) 20 min. (23.2 IBU)
1.00 oz. Simcoe (12.2%) 5 min. (7.6 IBU)
2 pkgs. SafAle US-05 yeast
Beer Smith Calculations:
**************************
OG: 1.069 (70% eff.)
FG: 1.015
ABV: 7.05%
Color: 6.1 SRM (this is actually within the style guidelines)
Bitterness: 114.9 IBU
Although this blows the upper end of the IBU range out of the water, I've been interested to try something with a hop explosion like this. I've done a couple of IIPAs and Barleywines, but I'm interested to see what will happen with a less malty, lower ABV beer with hops still out the yin-yang.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
