I placed an order with my LHBS to be picked up at our local farmer's market so i could make a pale ale. The recipe that i was going to make was pretty simple. 11 lbs. of 2-row, a touch of honey malt, 2 oz. of cascade, and 2 oz. of cluster. Then i was going to pitch some US-05 for a nice clean ferment. However, they didn't have my order. The first thing i did is sub in a pound of vienna in place of the honey malt. And when i got home i realized that i have 13.5 lbs. of 2-row instead of 11. Anyway, what i have now is
2-row- 13.5 lbs. (probably)
Vienna- 1.0 lbs. (probably)
Cluster (6.8%)- 2 oz.
US Tettnang (4.8%)- 1 oz.
US Magnum (14.7%)- 1 oz.
It seems like i'm on my way to an IPA, but i don't really know what to do with the hops and all the grain (it's already milled and mixed). Also, this will be a 5 gal. batch sparge.
I've been lurking and learning on this site for about two years now so i would like to say thank you to all for the great information.
