Pretty new to brewing (fourth batch in three years...plan on getting into more. Anyone that's more experienced see any issues with below recipe, particularly the wort makeup?
6.75 lbs Muntons Light DME
.6 lb Briess Caramel 40 Malt
.6 lb Carapils
.25 lb dextrose
6 oz maltodextrin
1 t gypsum
1 Whirlfloc tab
3.50 oz Columbus 90 min
.75 oz Columbus 45 min
1.00 oz Simcoe 30 min
1.00 oz Cascade 0 min
2.50 oz Simcoe 0 min
1.00 oz Columbus Dry Hop 12-14 days
1.00 oz Chinook Dry Hop 12-14 days
1.00 oz Simcoe 12-14 days
.25 oz Columbus Dry Hops 7 days
.33 oz Chinook 7 days
.25 oz Simcoe 7 days
2 Wyeast 1056 American Ale packs
Full wort boil (start at 8 g or very close) Grains will steep for 30 min at 165 F in 2.5 quarts water. 6 g batch to account for hop loss.
Thanks for any feedback, rationale for changes to be made, etc.
