Looking to brew my first all grain batch and my first batch on my system. I figured I would christen it with an original recipe (really the reason why I got into brewing in the first place).
I'm looking to make a bastard (neither distinctly american or english) pale ale. I think the grains are where I want them (I think), but I'm at a bit of a loss with the hops. The recipe as stands is:
9lbs Maris otter (87.8%)
8oz Munich (4.9%)
8oz Vienna (4.9%)
4oz English Crystal 60L (2.4%)
.5oz Nelson Sauvin (60 min)
.5oz Nelson Sauvin (20 min)
1oz Argentinian Cascade (5min)
1oz Argentinian Cascade (0 min)
.5oz Nelson Sauvin (0 min)
OG 1.049
est FG 1.011 (this will be largely dependent on what yeast I choose)
38.5 IBU
6.6 SRM
ABV 5%
I'm looking to make something a bit out of the box and complex (at least for the style) in flavor. I am also shooting for a good balance of hop and malt, which is why the low IBU/SG ratio. Hop wise i am looking to make it citrus/fruity, but not to the point of making it taste like diluted juice. My goal is to make a pale to share with friends that may not appreciate all that hops have to offer.
With all that said, I am kicking around blending the hops and adding both at all additions, changing up the hopping schedule and possibly dry hopping. If anyone has any suggestions (especially people who might have worked with these, not so common, hops before) I would love to hear them.
