I'm going to Minneapolis in a couple of weeks, and I'll be stopping in to Northern Brewer and Midwest to replenish supplies.
So I just did an inventory, and I have "a little of this, a little of that". I'd like to use up the small amounts of ingredients, but make a drinkable pale ale/amber. Here's what I've come up with so far (10.5 gallon batch):
8 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 38.2 %
5 lbs Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 2 23.9 %
4 lbs Rye Malt (4.7 SRM) Grain 3 19.1 %
2 lbs Munich II (Weyermann) (8.5 SRM) Grain 4 9.6 %
8.0 oz Caramunich II (Weyermann) (63.0 SRM) Grain 5 2.4 %
7.0 oz Honey Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 6 2.1 %
4.0 oz Carahell (Weyermann) (13.0 SRM) Grain 7 1.2 %
4.0 oz Carared (Weyermann) (24.0 SRM) Grain 8 1.2 %
4.0 oz Special Roast (50.0 SRM) Grain 9 1.2 %
4.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 10 1.2 %
1.00 oz Magnum [11.60 %] - FWH Hop 11 19.1 IBUs
1.00 oz Willamette [5.60 %] - Boil 20.0 min Hop 12 5.6 IBUs
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 15.0 min Hop 13 5.0 IBUs
1.00 oz Fuggles [4.00 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 14 2.6 IBUs
1.00 oz Cascade (Homegrown) [5.00 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 15 1.6 IBUs
1.00 oz Willamette [5.60 %] - Aroma Steep 0.0 min Hop 16 0.0 IBUs
OG: 1.052
IBU: 34
Color: 8.7 SRM
What do you think? Drinkable? Too sweet? All ideas are appreciated!
