Ingredients:
------------
Amt Name Type # %/IBU
8.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 5.6 %
8.0 oz Caramel Malt - 10L (Briess) (10.0 SRM) Grain 2 5.6 %
8.0 oz Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 SRM) Sugar 3 5.6 %
1.75 oz Cascade [7.30 %] - Boil 30.0 min Hop 4 54.7 IBUs
1.00 Items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 10.0 mins) Fining 5 -
1.00 tsp Yeast Nutrient (Boil 10.0 mins) Other 6 -
4.00 oz Goldings, B.C. [4.90 %] - Aroma Steep 30 Hop 7 0.0 IBUs
1.5 pkg Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05) Yeast 8 -
6 lbs LME Golden Light (Briess) (4.0 SRM) Extract 9 67.4 %
1 lbs 6.4 oz Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 10 15.7 %
Steep grains for ~30 mins. Remove grains and add water to boil vol. Add dextrose and bring to a boil, adding bittering hops when boil begins. Boil for 30 mins. At knockout, remove from heat, begin whirlpool* and add 4 oz of hops and all the LME. Let stand covered for ~30 mins or until wort reaches ~180, whatever happens first. Chill, aerate and pitch yeast.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* the whirlpool is not just to mix in the LME, it is to allow that knockout addition of hops to contribute as much flavor and aroma as possible while they steep. What I do is as soon as I kill the flame, I slowly swirl the wort into a good spin, throw in hops (and LME), get the whirlpool going again and cover. I check temp every 5-10 mins and get the whirlpool going again each time. After 30 mins (or before it gets below 180 F), I begin chilling the wort.
I find this to be a good "between big brew days" brew. Doesn't take long to put together, and it produces a good beer to keep the pipeline flowing.
Change the hops and yeast to suit your tastes, the recipe as posted is just the latest input into my BeerSmith. I've used Simcoe/amarillo, all cascade and all amarillo with great results. Go by IBU for the 30 min addition, and then by weight (4 ozs) for the knockout add. I usually dry hop this beer too, but it's plenty good w/o dry hops.
