Hey dudes! After lurking these forums and doing my research, I'm getting ready for my first brew day this weekend. I picked up this here kit along with a five gallon stainless kettle and some Starsan, and I'm headed back tomorrow for my ingredients.
I'm not big on following recipes verbatim, but here's what I've thrown together after looking at a variety of simple APAs. What I'd ideally like is to get something with mild to moderate bitterness for the style but nice floral aroma, and with maybe a little more body and malt character than a "standard" pale.
1# Crystal Malt 10L
7# Pale LME (half early, half late)
0.5oz Amarillo @60min
1.0oz Amarillo @20min
1.0oz Amarillo @5min
1 package US-05
Should come out to OG 1.051, 35.7 IBUs, 8.8 SRM, 5.2% ABV. I'm pretty much just guessing on the amount and type of specialty malt, and obviously the hop selection is based on "I like the name and blurb of this one". Does it look feasible? Anything I should change?
