This is my first "from scratch" recipe/brew. I have made several all-grain batches with pre-mixed ingredients.
I'm sure that this has been done before, and am looking for any feedback on experiences with it.
My closest LHBS is over 200 miles away, so this is pretty much the only stuff I have to use. I also have a pound of smoked malt (rauch?) and an ounce of Amarillo hops, but was planning on saving them for other projects.
Here's my plan:
Batch Size: 1 Gallon
American Wheat: 1 lb.
Maris Otter: 1 lb.
Boil: 60 minutes
Mandarina Bavaria Hops:
.1 oz. @ 60 minutes
.2 oz. @ 5 min
Yeast: DanStar Munich Wheat Beer Yeast
Priming sugar:
Honey or Maple Syrup - 2 tablespoons
I downloaded the Brewers Friend app, and plugged in the stuff. I have only the vaguest idea of what I am doing, but it tells me that:
The ABV is 5.4
The IBU is 20.46
That's about all I know. At this time, my preference is to keep it simple and just see what characteristics I get from the grains and hops. I was tempted to play with it, maybe add orange peel, coriander, rosemary...but decided not to for this first brew.
Any comments on what I am making (if it is anything) and what to expect from this combination would be appreciated. I am very open to suggestions, but like i said, I really don't have many options, given the availability of ingredients at this time.
Thanks in advance!
