I've been brewing (extract) for over a year now, posting occasionally and always perusing here.
I'm looking for some feedback on a very light ale recipe I created in Beersmith, which I would like to brew for friends that appreciate lighter beers; I am curious how this would turn out as well. The recipe as follows:
2.00 lb Extra Light Dry Extract (3.0 SRM)
2.00 lb Extra Light Dry Extract (3.0 SRM)
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
0.50 oz Sterling [7.50 %] (60 min)
0.75 lb Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 SRM)
My plan:
1. Steep specialty grains @ 155 deg. x 30 min in 1.5 gals
2. Add water to 4 gallons
3. Add 2 lb dry extract and bring to a boil
3. Add hops, set timer for 60 mins
4. Add 2 lb dry extract and corn sugar w/ 10 mins remaining in the boil
Likely Wyeast 1056 would be my yeast of choice for this.
Beersmith estimates the OG as 1.043 and the FG as 1.011, color of 4.3 SRM and 15.9 IBU. Everything right within the style of a cream ale.
Any suggestions / thoughts are appreciated.
