Just what the title says, building my first recipe. It's really out of a desire to brew another beer with Conan yeast cultured from cans of Heady Topper. Goal is for a nice, relatively simple citrusy IPA that's refreshing and will enable me to wash this yeast to share with a brew buddy.
Batch size: 5 gal
Yeast: Conan w/1.5L starter
OG:1.058 - 68% efficiency
IBU: 70+
SRM: 5.9
Grain bill:
11.0 lbs 2-row (US) - 94%
0.3 lbs Crystal 40L - 3%
0.3 lbs Carapils - 3%
Hops:
0.5 oz (14g) Magnum FWH
0.25 oz (7g) Simcoe @10 min
0.25 oz (7g) Mosaic @10 min
1.25 oz (35g) Simcoe (whirlpool/steep x 30 min)
1.25 oz (35g) Mosaic (whirlpool/steep x 30 min)
0.5 oz (14g) Simcoe (dryhop)
1.5 oz (42g) Mosaic (dryhop)
Mash @154 x 60 min, batch sparge
Ferment in 63-65 range x 5 days, let free rise to approx 70 after that
Dryhop (in secondary) at 2 weeks x 5 days; using secondary to keep yeast clean as possible for washing.
Bottle @2.2 vol
*Update - everything went according to plan, except efficiency was a tad low. Hydro sample flavorful, definitely an ipa bitterness-wise, but not terribly so. Still question the IBU numbers from Beersmith for the whirlpool. Look forward to dryhopping in a couple weeks. Sitting at 62 degrees.
