So I just tried my hand at designing me first recipe using Brewtoad, as it was the easiest for me to follow so far. https://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/honey-amber-28
Honey Amber
an Extract, American Amber Ale by mythbustingpyro
Fermentables Efficiency: 75.0 % Batch size: 1.0 gal
Fermentable Amount Use PPG
Dry Malt Extract - Amber 1.0 lb 66 % Boil 42
Caramel/Crystal 40L (US) 4.0 oz 16 % Steep 34
Honey Malt (CA) 2.0 oz 8 % Steep 37
Honey 2.0 oz 8 % Late Boil 42
Hops Boil time: 30 min
Hop Amount Time Use Form AA
Cascade (US) 0.25 oz 30 min Boil Pellet 7.0%
Cascade (US) 0.25 oz 5 min Boil Pellet 7.0%
Yeasts
Name Lab/Product Average Attenuation
American Ale Wyeast 1056 75.0%
Predicted Stats
1.057 OG 1.014 FG 28 IBU 5.6% ABV 13 SRM 0.49 IBU/OG Recipe conforms to the American Amber Ale style
So do you think any of the amounts are off? Is there any reason for me to do a full 60 minute boil vs 30 minutes I planned? I want a fairly stong honey flavor to come through, and tried to stay toward the lower end on the IBU. Is there a dry yeast I could substitute for the American Ale liquid. I think I planned on going with a 30 minute steep @154, sound good?
I have the DME on hand and based the recipe off that, hoping the LHBS has the malts and yeast, don't remember from last time I was there.
