Ok, so like the title says my first all grain recipe was supposed to be a Gumballhead clone following this recipe:
All Grain Recipe - Gumballhead Wheat ::: 1.052/1.012 (6 Gal)
Grain Bill (70% Efficiency assumed)
6 lbs. - Wheat Malt
5 lbs. - 2-Row Pale Malt
1 lb. - Caravienne Malt
Hop Schedule (27 IBU)
1/4 oz. - Amarillo - First Wort Hop
1/4 oz. - Amarillo - 60 min.
1/2 oz. - Amarillo - 15 min.
1.25 oz. - Amarillo - 5 min.
1 oz. - Amarillo - 1 min.
1.5 oz. - Amarillo - Dry Hop
Yeast
White Labs California Ale Yeast (WLP001) - 1800 ml starter
Mash/Sparge/Boil
Mash at 153° for 60 min.
Sparge as usual
Cool and ferment at 68° to 70°
However, due to ordering things at different times (and probably ordering a few wrong items) than realizing I couldn't get amarillo hops, here is what I've come up with (using BrewTarget to help):
6 lbs. - Rahr White Wheat Malt (I'm guessing this was supposed to be Breiss Wheat Malt?)
5 lbs. - Breiss 2-Row Malt
1 lb. - Cara Malt Crisp
Hop Schedule (35.8 IBU based on BrewTarget)
1 oz. - Cascade - First Wort Hop
1/2 oz. - Cascade - 60 min.
1/4 oz. - Calypso - 45 min.
1/2 oz. - Cascade - 15 min.
1/2 oz. - Calypso - 5 min.
1 oz. - Cascade - 1 min
1 oz. - Cascade - Dry Hop
1/4 oz. - Calypso - Dry Hop
Yeast
White Labs California Ale Yeast (WLP001) - 1800 ml starter
Mash/Sparge/Boil
Obviously, I don't expect this beer to taste like Gumballhead and according to BrewTarget the color is completely off but everything else looks ok. I've gone crazy with the hops schedule because I'm not sure if I will get the hop taste I want from the Cascade and there is not a lot of info on Calypso (although these are the two hops that I have). Basically, I'm just wondering if anyone has any reservations with this recipe, meaning do you think it will taste horrible.
I appreciate your thoughts and this is actually my first post on this website, although I use it all the time... There's a ton of good information on this site!
Thanks everyone!
