Hi, for my birthday I received that Northern Brewer box of South African hops and I'd like to make a SMaSH ale to test out one of the varieties. I only have three ounces of this N1/69 hop to use and it's listed as 13.4% alpha acid. For malt I have ten pounds of Crisp Marris Otter. Could someone please critique my recipe and tell me if I should move some of the boil hops to the dry hops or change any of the amounts. I don't want crazy bitterness but I do want lots of flavor and aroma.
Recipe looks like this:
OG: 1.050
FG: 1.012
IBU: 40.8 IBU
Color: 4.7 SRM
ABV: 5.1%
Batch size: 5.5 gallons
Ingredients:
10 lbs crisp Marris Otter
0.5oz N1/69 13.4% hops 60 minute boil
0.5oz N1/69 hops 20 minute boil
0.5oz N1/69 hops 2 minute boil
0.5oz N1/69 hops 170* whirlpool addition for 10-20 minutes
1.0oz N1/69 hops added after fermentation as dry hops for 4 days
2 packets Nottingham dry yeast
I'm having a hard time deciding when to add hops and how much to use. Any help or advice would be awesome.
Thank you!
