Trying to put together a quick batch for my hiking club and going the partial/mini/mainly-extract route for expedience (and no time to build a new mash tun with a 9 month old running around!). This what I came up with though I think I may need to back some of the numbers down a bit. Going for a light to medium body pale ale with focus on the citrusy hops but I am also trying not to be too hoppy...
7# of extra light DME
.5# carapils
.5# crystal 10
1 oz. Cluster hops @ 60min (7% AA)
1 oz. Horizon @ 15min (10.9% AA)
1 oz. Summits @ 5min (18.5% AA)
I figure a 25/30 min mini-mash for the grain in 1.5 gal @ 155F, and sparge with 170F to bring my kettle to 5.5 gal. and commence boil. I think I am going with Wyeast 1272.
What I think I have overdone is the DME and the IBU/HBU for my target.
Any ideas/thoughts/you-suck-and-should-not-brew?
