Hi.
I've put together a recipe that started out as a belgian blonde and to be honest I'm not sure what happened in the process of buying it, but I ended up buying the following ingredients. I'll probably end up just brewing it and seeing how it turns out, but thoughts on the combination and feedback on the ratios would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing it will turn into a middle ground between a Blonde and a Double? A Bouble?
For a 5 gallon (25 liter) batch.
OG 1.073, expected FG 1.012.
Yeast: wyeast abbey ale 1216.
Chateau pilsen 2rws (2ebc) - 4.29 kg /59%
Chateau munich light (14ebc) - 1.30 kg
/18%
Chateau cara blond (20ebc) - 0.52 kg / 7%
Chateau melano light (40ebc) - 0.26 kg / 3.6%
Chateau cara Ruby (50ebc) - 0.13 kg /1.8%
White candi sugar - 0.8 kg / 11%
Bittering Hops for 60 min: 42g Styrian golding 4% aa (16.8 IBU).
Aroma hops for 20 min: 42g Saaz 3.4 aa (8.6 IBU)
Total IBU: 25

Expected EBC: 15.4
