Hello all, I'm a noob at the whole brewing thing (not at the drinking) and loving it so far. For my 4th extract recipe I thought I'd wing it and try my own and was curious to see what everyone's thoughts were.
I wanted to make a brew that had a definite emphasis on hops but balanced by some malty sweetness and hopefully a bit of caramel.
6.0 lbs LME
0.5 lbs Belgian Biscuit Malt
1.0 lbs Crystal 120L
4 oz. Willamette (whole) 4.3%
2 oz. Cascade (pellet) 7.5%
1.0 lbs Dark Brown Sugar
WLP001 Ale Yeast
Boil of brown sugar @ 155 for 20 mins, then biscuit & crystal for 30 mins. Then 60 min boil with additions:
50 mins - 1 oz. Cascade
40 mins - 0.2 oz. Cascade & 0.5 oz. Willamette
30 mins - 0.2 oz. Cascade & 1/3 oz. Willamette
20 mins - 0.2 oz. Cascade & 1/3 oz. Willamette
10 mins - 0.2 oz. Cascade & 0.5 oz. Willamette & Servomyces
5 mins - 0.2 oz. Cascade & 1/3 oz. Willamette & Whirlfloc
Dry hop - 2 oz. Willamette
Used the IC and pitched a 1L starter (my vial was warm when UPS delivered it) at 70F. It's in the primary right now ~65F.
