Just thought I'd share my first partial mash brew. Actually, it's my first original recipe. It's fermenting now. It uses the above-mentioned hops and is supposed to be pretty dry, with no crystal malt except a little bit of carapils. Notably, it uses Imperial Organic's Dry Hop yeast (apparently, a mixture of Conan and WLP 644). I'll report progress later.
Target OG: 1.066
Actual OG: 1.064 or 65
Target FG: 1.013 (Assumes 80% apparent attenuation. I've heard Sacc. brux. is highly attenuative)
IBU: 60.2-ish (no adjustment for late extract addition)
Volume: 5.5 gallons
Fermentables:
4.5 lbs American two-row (would have used Maris Otter, but the LHBS was out)
1 lb Munich
0.25 lb Victory
0.25 lb Carapils
4 lbs Golden Light DME
Hops:
1 oz. Magnum (13.3% AA) @ 60 minutes
0.33 oz. Cascade (6.9% AA) @ 20 minutes
0.33 oz. Amarillo (7% AA) @ 20 minutes
0.33 oz. Mosaic (13.6% AA) @ 20 minutes
0.33 oz. Cascade (6.9% AA) @ 10 minutes
0.33 oz. Amarillo (7% AA) @ 10 minutes
0.33 oz. Mosaic (13.6% AA) @ 10 minutes
0.33 oz. Cascade (6.9% AA) @ flameout
0.33 oz. Amarillo (7% AA) @ flameout
0.33 oz. Mosaic (13.6% AA) @ flameout
Yeast: Imperial Organics A24 Dry Hop
Mash grain @ 152 degrees for 40 minutes, mash-out at 170 for 10 minutes, sparge at 170 for 10 minutes. 3 pounds of the DME reserved until the end of the boil. Ferment at 64; gradually raise to 72. I added Whirfloc and plan to add non-gelatin finings at the end of fermentation to get as clear a beer as possible (not optimistic b/c of the non-flocculant yeast).
Happy to hear feedback, positive or negative. I'm not sure what to dry hop it with yet--I was thinking Amarillo and Mosaic, Citra and Mosaic, or Galaxy and Mosaic. This might all be groping around in the dark, since I haven't brewed with any of those hops except Citra.
