Here is the recipe as I have planned it:
Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: WLP001/WLP007
Yeast Starter: NO
Batch Size (Gallons): 5.5
Original Gravity: 1.047
Final Gravity: 1.011
IBU: 29
Boiling Time (Minutes): 90
Color: 4.4 SRM
Efficiency: 75%
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7 @ 70F
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14 @ 70F
Ingredients:
9.0 lbs Maris Otter
0.75 oz Cascade (7.5%) 90min
1.0 oz Cascade (7.5%) 20 min
1.0 oz Cascade (7.5%) 0 min
1 tsp Whirloc (10 min)
1 ea WLP001/WLP007
Mash at 154F (medium body) (maybe lower for better attenuation)
SMaSH is pretty straight forward, and I'm sure this combo has been done numerous times, so any advice is welcomed. The only thing I could imagine being off is IBUs, not really sure what to put em at, seems like where they are should be good, though I don't want them too high as I am making this batch mostly to build up a yeast cake for a double black IPA (Stone SSR clone). I may dry hop if the urge strikes me. I am going for an easy drinkin/refreshing beer. So... any thoughts/advice for my first SMaSH?
