Hey all!
I just bottled my first beer today and am stoked. I'm a hop head and figured I'd try something out for my first home brew. Let me know what you think. Before I bottled it, I tried it and it was wicked hoppy and seemed to have a high abv.
3.3# light malt extract
3.3# amber malt extract
1oz cascade (pellet) 60min
1oz centennial (pellet)30min
2oz citra (pellet) 30min
1oz cascade (pellet) 15min
1oz sweet orange rind 10min
11g S-05
7 day primary (64-68*F)
8 day secondary w 1oz citra (whole/dry) (64-68*F)
Primed with 4.5g priming sugar
Thoughts?
Here's hoping it turns out good! I'll know in about 3 weeks, but I will be testing once a week to see the progress.
Will be upgrading to specialty malts and grains soon. My next one will be a cherry porter.
