Hi all,
I am new to brewing.. having gone through 3 extract kits before moving to All Grain, and just finished my 2nd All Grain Brew Day.
I decided to do some SMaSH IPA's to learn the flavor profiles of various grains and hops - primarily Hops at this point, as I got a 50lb sack of Maris Otter I need to work through.
Below is my recipe (5 gallon batch):
120 minute mash at 152°
60 minute boil
OG: 1.066 (dead-on beersmith's prediction)
12lb Maris Otter
1oz Citra - 60 min (whole)
1oz Citra - 45 min (whole)
1oz Citra - 30 min (whole)
1.5oz Citra - 15 min (pellet)
1oz Citra - 10 min (pellet)
1.5oz Citra - 5 min (pellet)
3oz Citra - DH (pellet
I'm not too worried as I realize different people like different types of beer. I for one love off-the-wall hoppy beer... but how much is too much? The IBU's were somewhere around 150 I believe. At the time I realized this may be way too high considering it isn't going to be a very malty or highly alcoholic beer.
What do you guys think??
Thanks in advance!
