I've been looking at the clone of Short's Good Human. Here's the deal: I've got whole leaf Chinook and Cascade that I grew in the freezer and I've got 1 oz of simcoe and 2 oz of amarillo in the fridge. I'm really into this hopped brown ale thing for the winter since I'm not a huge stout/porter dude.
I've backed off the abv because I want to use one packet of US-05 with confidence. And this is a partial mash since I don't want to go outside in December in Michigan.
Carabrown 2lb
Ashburne Mild Malt 1lb 4.8 oz
Carpils 1lb 4.8 oz
Munich 1lb 4.8
Victory 10.6 oz
80L Crystal 5.3 oz
Black Patent 2.7
4lbs LME 60 min boil
4lbs LME 15 min boil
Chinook FWH 1 oz
Simcoe .5 oz 15 min
Amarillo .5 oz flame out
Amarillo 1.5 dry hop 7 days
Simcoe .5 dry hop 7 days
1.74 SG
55.2 IBUs (I doubt it will be this high with my home grown hops)
But I wonder as I write this up if I should go with Cascade for a more mild bitterness to compliment the Amarillo/Simcoe.....
The IBU of Good Humans is only 19. I'd like to be bolder than that but still balanced.
Thoughts?
