I was thinking about brewing up a red ale as follows:
13.5 lbs pale male 2 row
1.5 lbs 120 Crystal
1.25 oz Chinook 60 minutes
.75 oz Chinook 15 minutes
.75 oz Chinook 5 minutes
Nottingham yeast
This will be all grain. It looks like it would have a 1.074 original gravity with a final gravity around 1.017.
Alcohol by Vol. 7.4%
Bitterness 63.4 IBU
Color 18 srm
Is this a good comibination for a red ale that is approaching the ipa type bitterness? Maybe tone it down a little? I do have Cascade, Amarillo, Columbus, Mt Hood on hand as well. What do you think?
