Hey everyone. I am planning to do a west coast red ale inspired by Pizza Port's Shark Bite Red, the recipe for which I heard on Can You Brew It. My plan as follows
5.5 gal batch
7 gal boil
8# extra light DME
2# Crystal 75
0.5# Crystal 120
1 oz Magnum @ 60min
2 oz Falconers Flight @ whirlpool
Nottingham yeast
I ran it through brewery's friend and came up with:
OG 1.059
FG 1.014
IBU 53-62 (tinseth v rager)
SRM 19.3
I am hoping that the bittering hops will cut through any overt sweetness from the crystal and the whirlpool hops will compliment with a hoppy character without dominating the malt. I am also toying with subbing in some munich LME or adding a half pound of victory to the steep, but may keep it simpler the first time out.
Any thoughts? Cheers
