I have a handful of 1 gallon batches under my belt and wanted to develop my own recipe. I wanted to do a full bodied, American brown ale, and this is what I came up with:
0.900 lb American 2-Row (42.86%)
0.500 lb Maris Otter Malt (23.81%)
0.500 lb Crystal 60 (23.81%)
0.200 lb Special-B (9.52%)
0.20 oz Nugget Pellet @ 60 Minutes (Boil) (0.2 oz/Gal)
0.20 oz Amarillo Pellet @ 15 Minutes (Boil) (0.2 oz/Gal)
Original Gravity (OG): 1.053 (°P): 13.1
Final Gravity (FG): 1.013 (°P): 3.3
Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 5.21 %
Colour (SRM): 27.4 (EBC): 54.0
Bitterness (IBU): 47.4 (Average)
I've never worked with Amarillo hops before and I'm not sure how much citrus they bring to brew. I was focusing mainly on the grains, hoping for a medium body, but not too sweet beer. I was banking on the Special-B and Crystal for a bit of caramel/toffee backbone.
I'd appreciate any feedback or first impressions you'd be willing to share. Again, this is my first. Be gentle
