So I haven't done a straight extract brew in a while, but figured it might be a fun little experiment.

Anyway:

3.6 gallon boil. Top up to 5.5 gal.

Fermentables
3.3lb Briess Bavarian Wheat LME
3.3lb Briess Rye LME

Hop Schedule
15 - 1oz Mosaic & 1oz Citra
10 - 1oz Mosaic & 1oz Citra
05 - 1oz Mosaic & 1oz Citra
Flameout - 1oz Mosaic & 1oz Citra
Dry Hop - 1oz Mosaic & 1oz Citra for 7 days

Fermentation
House Wild Ale Yeast (Cultured Blend of White Labs American Farmhouse and Brettanomyces Lambicus)

Primary 14 days
Secondary 14 days (add dry hop last 7)
Bottle Condition (Could possibly keg and force carb) for 14 days

Estimates from Brewtoad
1.043 OG
1.005 FG (this seems very low and is expecting a lot out of the brett, I imagine)
63 IBU
4.9 ABV (again, don't think this will hit 1.005
5 SRM
1.49 OG/IBU

Thoughts / critique?
