Hello all,
I just whipped up a fairly simple English Pale Ale recipe and wanted to see what some of you think before I dive in and brew. I am relatively new to AG brewing so I wanted the opinions of experts! 60 minute mash, 60 minute boil.
9 lb Maris Otter
1 lb Caramel 40L
.5 oz Target hops at 60 mins
1.5 oz Target hops at 2 mins
4 oz Kent Goldings at 2 mins
I am thinking of mashing on the higher side to give the brew a little extra body. I plan on using Safale S-04 dry yeast for dependability.
The recipe was made using a 70% efficiency and so the predicted stats are:
OG 1.053
FG 1.016
IBU 30
I'm hoping I can bring the FG down to at least 1.014 but I'll be happy either way. I'm hoping that its a well balanced brew with a good bit of hop flavor but without any overly harsh bitterness. A session ale.
Any thoughts?
