I was playing around with Beersmith and came up with my own recipe. It's currently in the fermenter so hopefully it turns out good.
1lb Crystal Malt 20L
.5lb Carapils
steeped at 155F for 30 minutes in 2 gallons of water
12lbs extra light dry malt extract
added 1/2 at the beginning and the other 1/2 with 15 min left
I do 5 gallon boil volumes, then top off to around 5.25 gallons at the end
60 min 1.5 oz Warrior
35 min .5 oz Amarillo
.5 oz Simcoe
25 min .5 oz Amarillo
.5 oz Simcoe
15 min .5 oz Amarillo
.5 oz Simcoe
Whirlfloc
5 min .5 oz Amarillo
.5 oz Simcoe
2 packs Safale US-05
OG was 1.092
Beersmith says it should finish @ 1.024 with 9% ABV and 91 IBU's.
Color should be 7.7.
I plan on dry hopping with 1 oz Amarillo and 1 oz Simcoe. Primary for 3 weeks and dry hop for another week in the primary. If it's finished then I'll bottle it.
This is my 7th batch. For you more experienced homebrewers out there how does this recipe look? Has anybody used 12lbs of DME in a 5 gallon batch before?
