About to start brewing again after 4 MONTHS!! I want to get to know some ingedients better. I want to learn cascade. I see it mentioned so often and I don't recall ever using it. I figure an american pale ale would do. I also have some brewer's gold on hand and I read somewhere it can be used for bittering in a wide range of beers. So here are the following ingredients I have set in mind to learn about on this brew:
vienna - what to expect from flavor and body
carapils - what to expect as far as body and head retention
brewer's gold - what to expect from bittering use
and cascade - what to expect from flavor and aroma
Any thoughts on my expectations or critiques on the recipe are more than welcome
Here is my recipe:
SG: 1.051
IBU: 42.5
EST SRM: 4.2
8lbs of Pale 2-row American
.5lbs of Carapils
1lbs of Vienna
1oz Brewer's Gold 60min
.5oz Cascade 30 minutes
.25oz Cascade 10 minues
.25oz Cascade 5 minutes
WLP 001
