I have just built an Imperial IPA recipe with the BeerSmith software.
the ingredient list is as follows:
Type : All Grain
Batch Size (fermenter) : 5gal
Boil Size : 3.67gal
Boil Time : 60min
Fermentation : Ale 3 stage
Grain:
Biscuit Malt (23.0 SRM) - 5lbs
Munich Malt (20.0 SRM) - 5lbs
Aromatic Malt 20L (20.0 SRM) - 2lbs
Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) - 1lbs
Cara-Pils / Dextrine (2.0 SRM) - 2lbs
Hops: (boil)
Liberty 4.3% - 2oz
Motuera 7% - 2oz
Pilot 11.5% - 2oz
Saaz 4% - 2oz
Hops: (Dry hopping)
Motuera 7% - 2oz
Saaz 4% - 1oz
Misc:
Amylase Enzyme - 1.5tsp
Gypsum - 1tsp
Irish Moss - 1.5tsp
Malto-Dextrine - 8oz
Oak Chips (secondary ferment) - 4oz
Polyclar - .25oz
Yeast nutrient - 2tsp
Dememera Sugar - .5lbs
Honey - .5lbs
Yeast:
Abbey IV Ale Yeast (whitelabs #wlp540) [50.28ml] - 2packages
Bottle prime with Corn sugar
Est. original gravity is around 1.084
Bitterness is around 98.1
Est ABV is at 9.4
all exactly where i want it. The only thing that is off is my color.
It is estimated at 23.0 SRM... my goal is to get it somewhere between 8 and 15 SRM... without messing with the ingredients too much.
Any help tweaking it to get a lower color would be greatly appreciated.
