So my first batch of beer has been in the primary for two days now and I can't stop thinking about what I want to brew next.
A couple weeks ago I had an English style IPA from Howe Sound. I didn't even know there was such a thing but I really liked it and want to give it a shot. I don't know much about the flavor profiles and appropriate uses for different malts and hops (other than what is provided on beersmith). I put this little diddy together though. Thoughts?
Beersmith says you can't use victory malt for steeping but I read on the information super highway that you can. So is it ok or not? if not, what could I use as a replacement.
For a 5 gallon partial boil:
3.00 lb Light Dry Extract (8.0 SRM)[late addition] Dry Extract 32.43 %
1.00 lb Light Dry Extract (8.0 SRM) Dry Extract 10.81 %
4.00 lb Pale Liquid Extract [late addition] Extract 43.24 %
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 5.41 %
0.50 lb Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 5.41 %
0.25 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (120.0 SRM) Grain 2.70 %
1.00 oz Sterling [7.50 %] (60 min) Hops 16.5 IBU
1.00 oz Sterling [7.50 %] (30 min) Hops 12.7 IBU
