Hey everyone,
I've got a few brews under my belt now. I want to start designing some my own recipes--simple stuff. I've tried Blue Moon clones and CitrusWeizens, but I never get the results I want.
So, I'm wanting to design simple, IPA, APA, and Pale Ale recipes. I guess my questions are "What will these taste like?" and "Do my recipes look like they will produce something in the style I'm going for?"
I know a number of variables exist, but when evaluating, assume everything goes right(sanitization, efficiency, no boil overs, ferment temps are good, pitch rate is right, etc.).
Here's number one:
Brew: Amarillo/2Row SMaSH
Brewer: Jacob
Style: American Pale Ale
Yeast: Safale SO5
Boil Volume: 3.25 Gallons
Batch Size: 3 gallons
OG: 1.043
FG: 1.012
IBU's: 47
Grain Bill: 5 lbs Rahr 2-Row
Hops: .5 oz Amarillo(9.2%) 60 minutes
.25 oz Amarillo(9.2%) 30 minutes
.25oz Amarillo(9.2%) 15 minutes
Mash in 6.25q water @ 155* for 60 minutes. Sparge with 5q @ 170*. Top up to 3.25 gals and start boil. Add hops according to schedule.
I'm hoping for a fairly hoppy very light colored Ale. I love Amarillo, so I figured this would be a good SMaSH.
#2
Brew: Bald 'N Harry Pale Ale
Brewer: Jacob
Style: American Pale Ale
Yeast: Safale SO5
Boil Volume: 3.25 Gallons
Batch Size: 3 gallons
OG: 1.040
FG: 1.012
IBU's:66
Grain Bill: 4 lbs 8oz Rahr 2-Row
8oz Biscuit Malt
Hops: .5 oz Amarillo(9.2%) 60 minutes
.5 oz Cascade(6.3%) 60 minutes
.25 oz Amarillo(9.2%) 30 minutes
.25oz Amarillo(9.2%) 15 minutes
Dryhop .5oz Cascade 7 Days
Mash in 6.25q water @ 155* for 60 minutes. Sparge with 5q @ 170*. Top up to 3.25 gals and start boil. Add hops according to schedule.
My main question with this one is, will the biscuit drastically change the malt characteristics of the beer? I like Fat tire, and I believe they use biscuit as part of the grain bill. Also, too much hops, or do I look ok?
I'm just looking for some feedback on how these look and if they will be tasty.
Thanks,
Jacob
