Hey guys (and girls)-
I'm attempting to construct my first recipe to brew in my first AG attempt. I've used a couple different references (Designing Great Beers is one) along with BeerSmith to guide me.
I recently had a Loose Cannon Hop3 Ale. I'm a bit of a hophead and love IPAs and wanted to attempt creating something close to this style. They actually listed the recipes on their site!
So this is what I came up with. If you have any opinions I would love to hear them. I'm particulary concerned with my hop amounts I chose. I tried hitting 60+ IBUs using the hops they had listed (except Palisade, which I substituted Cascade).
Est OG : 1.060
Est Final: 1.014
Using Default Efficiency : 68%
Boil Size : 5.5 gallons
Mash Temp : 149-154deg
Grain Bill
----------------
11 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) UK (3.0 SRM)
12.0 oz Munich Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM)
12.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
Hop Bill (the interesting part!)
------------------------
0.75 oz Chinook [13.00%] (60 min)
0.50 oz Magnum [14.00%] (45 min)
0.50 oz Centennial [10.00%] (10 min)
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50%] (Dry Hop 3 days)
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50%] (Dry Hop 3 days)
1 Pkgs American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056)
So, what do you guys think? I'd appreciated any comments you got!
Thanks.
