On the heels of the similar thread ( https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/ex...rs-anyone-has-experience-brewing-them-213073/ ), I'd like to get some criticism on my take on the recipes suggested.
For me, this will be a soda/seltzer-replacement beer, hopefully with some good flavor. I drink beers like Southern tier's unearthy, Stone Arrogant bastard/ Ruination, etc. Also can enjoy a lighter pale ale, Porters & stouts aside.
What I'm shooting for here is a nice hoppy light beer with low ABV and hopping that is enjoyable for me, while not so off-putting for some of my female friends (yeesh, not trying to stereotype)
I noticed that Northern Brewer carries some organic LME and malts, so I figured I'd give them a shot. My mothers favorites are those from Otter Creek's Wolaver organic line. Her basement gets used, so I'll appease her there.
Enough rambling.
Steep 1 LB Briess Organic C-60L from cold water temp to 170 F
1.5 lb LME @60
.5oz Northern brewer @ 60
(remainder) of LME @ 15
.5oz Northern brewer @ 10
.5oz Cascade @ 5
.5oz Cascade @ flameout
I intend to use S-05 yeast.
I'm showing 1.029 OG, 29 IBU, (3% ABV) which is obviously a bit on the hoppy side of things, but still a low total OZ of hops- Think I should cut this back? Other input?
