I have been working on this one for a while, I am looking for a flavorful, aromatic pale with citrus, piney and floral notes. Here is my BIAB recipe:

Hop Burst Pale
American Pale Ale
Type: All Grain Date: 11/19/2012
Batch Size (fermenter): 5.00 gal

9 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 86.4 %

1.0 pkg American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056) [124.21 ml] Yeast 14 -
1.00 oz Citra [14.20 %] - Dry Hop 7.0 Days Hop 15 0.0 IBUs
1.00 oz Simcoe [13.40 %] - Dry Hop 7.0 Days Hop 16 0.0 IBUs


Est Original Gravity: 1.056 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.012 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 5.7 %
Bitterness: 36.8 IBUs
Est Color: 6.6 SRM

I will be using BIAB with a 45 minute mash at 152 with a 15 minute sparge. I am subbing in Wyeast 1056 for "Conan", a yeast strain harvested from fresh heady topper. It has already been cultured, I just need to build up a starter. This will ferment low (62-64 F range) for 10-14 days and then get bumped up to 68 for a 7 day dry hop. Bottle conditioned to 2.5 volumes for 3 weeks. Let me know what you think about the hop bill, I think it will produce really nice aroma and flavor with a mild bitterness to contrast.
