Hi Everyone,
I'm new on the forum, but I've only just got back into brewing after a 10 year hiatus after I moved to London from Australia, and London apartments don't have the space for brewing! I've now moved to the suburbs into a house with a shed that has been converted into a bar in my garden, so all signs are pointing to brewing!
I'm hopefully getting a Grainfather for Christmas, as that will be the thing to make all grain brewing easy enough for me to enjoy. Then perhaps I'll try and put together a keezer if things go well.
I'm hoping people can give me some advice as Im going to try an extract & partial mash of a super hoppy American Pale Ale. To save effort and money Im going to buy a kilo of Falconers Flight 7Cs hops, I should be OK to use them alone as theyre a hybrid of 7 hops, and Ive heard good things about them, I think I should be good with the hop profile as my favourite beers are West Coast IPAs/APAs.
Im going for a malty profile with the beer around 5.5%, not too bitter at around 50 IBUs and a massive hoppy hit, so Im going for the below recipe with hopefully 28 litres ending up in the fermenter.
Fermentables:
3.5kgs of liquid light malt extract
1kgs of Pale Ale Malt
500gms of Vienna Malt
500gms of Wheat malt
500gms of Munich malt
Ill steep the grain in about 8 litres of water for 60 mins at around 67 degrees C
Hops which are all Falconers Flight 7Cs with 9.1 AA%
30gm @ 60 min for 10.43 IBUs
30gm @ 20 mins for 6.32 IBUs
40gm @ 10 mins for 5.04 IBUs
40gm @ 1 mins for .60 IBUs
90gm whirlpool for 20 mins @ 80 C for 29.25 IBUs
100gm dry dry hop for 7 days
Ill use Mangrove Jack US West Coast Yeast M44 and ferment for a week at 19C before putting the dry hops in for another week
Ive never done a whirlpool before, but all my reading seems to suggest that its the best way to get an extremely hoppy beer. So I will cool the wort to 80 C then throw the 90gm of hops and stir the wort for 20 minutes, I assume thats how you do it?
So overall what do you think of the recipe, should this be extremely hoppy without being overly bitter? For the record, Ive never had any beer thats too hoppy, so the more the merrier for me. So feel free to criticise or recommend changes!
Cheers,
