My LHBS just got some whole leaf Cascade hops in (I assume fairly fresh). So I wanted to make an American Pale Ale using only Casade. I have decided to do this to get a good feel for what this specific hop tastes/smells like. I would like to do this with other hop varieties but we will see.
Questions:
1. How does the recipe look?
2. What would be a good mash temp for this?
Grain:
8lb US 2-row
2lb. Munich 10L
.5lb US Crystal 10L
.5lb Carapils
Single infusion mash for 60 min.
Batch sparge at 170. Collect ~6.5 gallons.
Hops:
All additions: whole Casacade leaf hops 7.5% alpha acids
60 min: .75 oz
30 min: .5 oz
15 min: .25 oz
5 min: .25 oz
Dry hop: .25 oz
Yeast: Nottingham
Ferment 5.5 gallons.
With 65% efficiency (not sure about this, will adjust if needed):
Expected OG: 1.057
Expected FG: 1.014
Expected Color: 6.0 SRM
Expected IBU: 35IBU
Thanks for any input.
