So I brewed a delicious summer ale a few weeks ago, had 10 or 12 people over for poker night with it on tap.. And I was sure we went through half of it, come to realize the next day that there was only a few glasses left
I want to brew it again, but I want to also reduce complexity and try a SMaSH, because:
a) I like other ambitious homebrewers started out by throwing tons of stuff in my recipes.. I've been lucky with a few, others not so much.
b) I can't ever brew the same exact thing twice
Here's the original recipe:
grain (lbs)
8.00 Marris Otter
3.00 Pale
2.50 German Wheat
Hops
Actual Quantity (oz) Hop Alpha Acid (%) Time in Boil
0.5 Cluster 7.10% 60
1 Cluster 7.10% 20
1 Cascade 7.30% 20
0.5 Amarillo 9.90% dry
0.5 Cluster 7.10% dry
yeast: Wyeast 1272, american ale II (slurry from previous IPA)
Other ingredients: 0.5oz crushed coriander added 10mins to end of boil
OG: 1.058, ABV 6.3%
And, to convert to SMaSH:
13.5lbs Pale
Hops:
1oz amarillo 9.9% 60min
1oz amarillo 9.9% 20min
1oz amarillo 9.9% dry
Coriander: 0.75oz 10mins to end of boil (I wanted to increase because the taste was very subtle before, so this combined with SMaSH should bring it out more).
yeast: same
Any thoughts on this recipe? I've never done SMaSH but it seems pretty straight forward I guess
