Hey folks, i hope i never stole anyone's recipe name.
This is something i've been painstakingly thinking/researching up the last 3 or 4 days waiting for my supplies to show up - there's been a delay.
This is my recipe:
13lbs of 2 row
1 lb of Crystal 20L
1 oz Cascade(7.3) for 60min
1/2 oz Mt. Hood for 10min
IBU ~20-25
Batch size: 6.5 gal
OG 1.058 @ %75 brewhouse eff
The thing is i plan on adding about 3/4 gal of water to the wort to reduce it to 1.052.
Reasoning: I have one big 8 gal fermenter i would like to max out with easy drinking craft beer and my system - grainfather - is limited to 6.5gal of wort.
I was just going to brew 6.5gal but the OG is rather high for what i'm looknig for. I know i can adjust the ingredients but whats the point of having 1lb of grain around?
And i really like to get an easy drinking house blonde ale going and if i can max out my fermeneter all the better, why not?
Side note: I just read up dilution or blending.
