I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here for creating such a great community. I have been lurking here for years, and have learned a ton.
Started out stumbling through extracts, and royally messing up some meads. More recently, I have been successful with a couple meads and ciders. Tonight I completed my first all grain BIAB batch and ended reasonably close to my numbers so far.
MO/Amarillo SMaSH
4.25 Gallons RO Water
6# Maris Otter
.25oz Amarillo @ 60min
.75oz Amarillo @ 15min
Whirlfloc
.75oz Amarillo @ 0min
US-05 at 65*
Planning .75oz Amarillo Dry Hop 7 Days
2.75 Gallons into the fermenter
OG: 1.053
IBU: 36.7
Est. ABV: 5.5
If I'm reading Beersmith right i got 65% efficiency. Single milled from LHBS. Seems fair?
Let me know your thoughts. I plan on doing the same brew with simcoe next week. (adjusting hop rates as needed per Beersmith to reach similar IBUs)
Thanks!
