Nothing too fancy, but this is what I was planning on. I've only been brewing since January and this will be my first non-kit brew.
I'm expecting it to be a nice balance between a fair bit of bitterness and a nice citrusy finish. Hoping the Chinook will give me a little piney bite. I think I'm on the right track after my 6 month crash-course in homebrewing. Anyone have any thoughts?
5 gallon - Extract w/ Specialty Grains
2.5 gallon boil. Steep grains at 155 degrees for 20 minutes.
Grain:
0.50 lb. American victory
0.50 lb. American crystal 60L
0.50 lb. Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils)
7 lb. Dry Light malt extract
Hops (pellets):
1 oz. Chinook (12.4% AA, 60 min.)
1 oz. Chinook (12.4% AA, 45 min.)
1 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 30 min.)
.5 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 15 min.)
.5 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 5 min.)
Dry Hop 1 oz. Cascade in secondary a week before bottling.
-----------
I have an oz. of Amarillo that I might try and mix in there or maybe sub for an ounce of Cascade... anyone have any ideas how to best use it?
