I like Sierra Nevada Torpedo. A lot. So I've been tracking this thread:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f37/sierra-nevada-torpedo-clone-165501/
What I'd like to do is bring this up to an acceptable IIPA level. Here's what I have in mind and I'd appreciate any feedback:
5 gallon batch, extract
7# Extra Light Malt Extract Syrup
3# Extra Light Dry Extract
0.5# Crystal 60
0.5# Two Row (question about this later)
2 oz. Magnum 14.0 AA, 60 minutes
1 oz. Crystal 3.5 AA, 5 minutes
1 oz. Magnum 14.0 AA, 5 minutes
Finish active fermentation, then keg and dry hop:
1 oz. Crystal, dry hop 7-14 days
1 oz. Magnum, dry hop 7-14 days
1 oz. Citra, dry hop, 7-14 days
US-05 yeast
Expected OG: 1.082
Expected FG: 1.022
Expected ABV: 8.0
Anyone see any issues with this? What do you suppose the two row is for, since there is no mash? A variation of the recipe calls for 8-10 oz. honey malt instead. Does anyone think this is a better component to the recipe?
