So my brother asked me to make him a recipe for an American Pale Ale. He wants to use the one ounce of Simcoe he was able to score from his local shop. He is well stocked with other typical pale ale hops: cascade, centennial (only one ounce,) magnum, willamette, chinook, northern brewer.
I am drinking a pretty good pale ale that is my attempt at a session IPA. Should I just set him up with the same recipe? or can y'all give a better suggestion. This is the recipe as I brewed it.
5 Gallon batch
All grain- OG 1.050 with 70% efficiency
SRM: 5 IBU: 40-55
Grain:
8.5 lbs two row
.5 # crystal 15
.5 # munich
.5# wheat (flaked)
hops:
.75 columbus @ 60 minute (he could use magnum)
1.0 Simcoe @ Flameout w/ 20 minute steep
1.25 Cascade @ Flameput w /20 steep
.25 columbus @ flameout w / 20 steep
1.0 cascade DH 7 days
American Ale II (Wyeast 1272) @ 68-72 for 14-21 days total.
Secondary used at 14 days and dry hops added.
Transfer to keg and drink as soon as carbonated.
