Greetings Everyone.
I am looking for some critiquing/feedback on this Mild Recipe that I created so that I could use up some Kent Golding Hops before they go stale and a few other ingredients that I have on hand.
Redbeard's Mild Ale
(Extract with Grains)
4 lbs Light LME (late addition)
8 oz Aromatic Malt
8 oz Crystal Malt 60ºL
3 oz Chocolate Malt
3 oz Roasted Barley
4 oz Cara-Pils
.75 oz Kent Goldings -60min (4.5% AA)
.5 oz Fuggle -10min (4.8% AA)
.5 oz Fuggle -5 min (4.8% AA)
1 tsp Irish Moss
Wyeast 1098 (British Ale)
Corn Sugar -Priming (Like 2.5 - 4oz to keep the CO2 Volume under 2.0)
Steep Grains in 3 qts of water at 154ºF for 30min. Rinse Grains with 1.5 qts of water at 170ºF. Add water to make 6 gallons and bring to a boil. Boil for 60 minutes, add hops at times indicated above. Add LME and Irish Moss at 15min left of 60min boil time.
Coll Wort and transfer to Fermenter, top off to 5 gallons of cool water if needed. Aerate Wort and Pitch yeast. Ferment at 66ºF until complete then rack into bottles/keg with corn sugar.
I ran this thru BrewTarget 2.0 and got the following specs for the recipe,
OG = 1.036
FG = 1.009
IBU = 18.9
SRM = 16.5
ABV = 3.5%
So what do you guys and gals think? I know some the ingredients are a bit untraditional for a mild, but hey that's what makes home-brewing so much fun is going outside the lines.
Thanks for looking
