So, me and my friends brewed two batches of beer for our first run. I decided I'd try to use beer calculus to design a recipe, and the other two just bought a kit. When we actually brewed both batches, we realized that the batches looked and smelled really similar. Here are the two recipes - I'd like to know how different they will hopefully be - or not be. If you guys think they're going to be really quite the same, then we might go find something radically different from both.
Recipe 1:
3.3lbs Pilsen Light Liquid Malt Extract
1lb Pilsen Light Dry Malt Extract
1lb Bavarian Wheat Dry Malt Extract
8oz Crushed Carapils Malt
1/2oz Cascade Hops for Bittering
1/4oz Cascade Hops for Aroma
1/4oz Cascade Hops for Flavoring
2 1/2oz Bitter Orange and Lemon Peels (total)
SafAle US-05 Beer Yeast
Recipe 2:
(I asked the store guy if it'd work since this is mine, and he just gave me a "wtf" kind of look and said it would be intresting)
4lbs Bavarian Wheat Dry Extract
2lb Pilsen Light Dry Malt Extract
8oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L
1oz Riwaka NZ Hops for Bittering
1oz Hallertau Hops for Aroma
1oz Hallertau Hops for Flavoring
Wyeast Weihenstephan Weizen
