I've decided I've got some learning to do so I picked up 5x 1 gallon bottles with complimentary airlocks and stoppers.
One idea I have is to make a basic American Pale Ale, do the primary fermentation in a 6 gallon carboy, then rack to my 1 gallon bottles and dry-hop with 5 different hops to learn about each hop on its own, then mix and match to find combinations I enjoy. I figure the bittering hop should be fairly neutral, as the hop flavor should come from the dry-hopping.
Here's the recipe I was thinking:
5.5lbs Light Extract (dry)
2lbs Caramel Malt 40L
0.6oz Cluster Hops (60min)
S05 yeast
Dry hop in secondary (1 gallon/0.25oz) with:
- Amarillo
- Cascade
- Nugget
- Simcoe or Warrior
- Williamette or Fuggle
OG: 1.050
FG: 1.013
Color: 13.5
IBU: 13.0
ABV: 4.8%
Any suggestions/comments?
