So I am getting ready for my second AG batch. The first was a take on St. Fuad's Irish Red, turned out great but with a lower FG than I expected
(1.004) - but very drinkable with a great roasted flavor.
Thanks to Jaybird for a good deal on a pack of Simcoe and my in-laws for all of the honey I can handle I was thinking something in lines of an IPA or IIPA.
After reading the article about Pliny in Zymurgy over the summer, they talked about using sugar to add extra strength without overloading the body of the beer - I will use the honey for that. A good balance of two row and rye for the base, and just a little bit of crystal to round things out.
Here is my first crack at the recipe. Any input/guidance would be appreciated.
