Yesterday, I gave it my first shot at brewing an all-grain beer without a pre-established recipe or ingredient kit. I'm excited but not really sure what to expect. I was hoping some of the experienced homebrewers on this forum could help me out.
Here's the recipe:
10 lbs 2 Row Pale
1 lb rye
1 lb crystal 60
1 lb crystal 120
1 lb carapils
Hops:
60 min 1 oz Perle
60 min 1 oz Amarillo
15 min 2 oz Amarillo
5 min 2 oz Amarillo
The wort came out a deep red color. I mashed at 154 and pitched a vial of White Labs 001 California Ale yeast at 85 degrees. I intend to dry hop 2 oz Amarillo.
What type of beer can I expect from this recipe? Any educated guesses? What type of flavor profile might I expect? Did I overdo it on the crystal malt? What variety of beer might this be called?
