6.6lb Light LME
3lb Golden DME
Grains:
1lb 80L
8oz Victory
4oz Carapils
Hops:
2oz Columbus 14.4 60 min
1oz Columbus 14.4 20 min
1oz Columbus 14.4 5 min
WLP001 California Ale
A few questions also
1)I have some Amarillo and Centennial hops in the freezer. I've never done a single hop IIPA. Would one of these be a good substitute? The IBUs according to Beersmith are already 100+ so I don't think I would want more on top of what I already have.
2)The estimated OG is 1.082 so obviously I am going to do a starter with the yeast. I have never brewed a beer this big so is one vial with a starter enough to fully ferment the beer? I am going to make the starter tonight (Friday) and brew Sunday afternoon.
Thanks!
