I've been struggling with which beer to brew next, and while I have what I think will be a pretty interesting IPA in mind, I'm leaning towards keeping my fridge stocked with more "summer-appropriate" beers for the next couple months. I recently bottled an Oberon-inspired American wheat, and I'm thinking I might want to do a riff off of that.
Recipe Type: All Grain BIAB
Yeast: Harvested Bell's House Ale Yeast
Yeast Starter: 1.5L
Batch Size: 5.25 gallons
Original Gravity: 1.057
Final Gravity: 1.014
ABV: 5.63%
IBU: 24
Boiling Time: 60 minutes
SRM: 4.89
Grain Bill
5.75 lbs Briess 2-row [53.2%]
4.25 lbs German Wheat Malt [39.3%]
8 oz German Munich Light [4.6%]
5 oz Melanoidin Malt [1.2%]
Mash Schedule
60-minute mash at 157F with 1-gallon sparge
Hop Schedule
1.00 oz Hersbrücker Pellet (4 AA) - 30 min [11.70]
1.00 oz Saaz Pellet (2.9 AA) - 15 min [5.48]
0.50 oz Saaz Pellet (2.9 AA) - 5 min [1.10]
0.75 oz Hüll Melon Pellet (10 AA) - 5 min [5.69]
0.5 oz Saaz Pellet (2.9 AA) - Dryhop 5 days
0.75 oz Hüll Melon Pellet (10 AA) - Dryhop 5 days
Whirlfloc at 10 minutes before end of boil
Primary Fermentation: Pitch at 65F and maintain at 68F in water bath/aquarium heater. Ramp to 72F after five days. Cold crash and dry hop 5-7 days prior to bottling.
Secondary Fermentation: None
Part of going with this is because it's the same grain bill as my last beer and I wanted to switch up the non-noble hops (Cascade/Centennial to Hüll Melon) to see just how different it'll be, as well as to try to improve a bit on the process I had last time.
I've never used Hüll Melon before, so I have no idea whether they'll overpower things or if this even makes sense. I have Calypso, Rakau, Aussie Summer, and Nelson as other options for the non-noble addition. I'm open to suggestions!
