I am going to be brewing a batch tomorrow. I need feedback on what you think of my this recipe. I am looking for a beer that is a bit of a hop bomb, one that would show off the Simcoe, but would also be fairly balanced. I like a maltier beer with some residual sweetness, too.
9 gallon BIAB batch
estimated efficiency 70%
12 # 2-row Pale
6 # Vienna
1 # Crystal 10L
Mash at 154 degrees x 60 min
1 oz Simcoe (14%) - First wort -- boil 60 min (30.2 IBU)
4 oz Simcoe flameout (would add at 180 degrees and steep 20 min before cooling further)
Safale s05 yeast
2 oz Simcoe Dry hop in secondary
Est OG: 1.053
Est FG: 1.012
Bitterness 30.2
Note that this is 9 gallon batch, and that beersmith doesn't account for any IBU's from the flamout steep.
It looks good, but I haven't made many beers like this, and I would rather not screw up 7 oz of Simcoe if I have the proportions all wrong.
Any suggestions? Seems like a lot of hops at flameout, but there are a lot of people who have had good experience doing something like this.
Thanks in advance.
