How does this compare substituting the WL Burton Ale strain as opposed to S-04? Going to brew this one this upcoming week and was wondering the differences before I make this one.
Thanks for this thread. This is my second time using your method and I like it a lot -- at least until I can do all grain! But man is it helpful! Thanks once again!:mug:
Thanks guys for the suggestions. As one person suggested, is the 1.5 lbs. malts too much? How will they affect the overall taste of the beer in their current form?
Thanks for all the help once again!
This is my first attempt at creating my own recipe using Beer Smith (based on some added inspiration from Kona Brewing:D). Thus, I would be happy to hear some suggestions and your guys' expertise with the recipe I am creating. Below it is. I welcome all input.
Batch Size: 5 gallons
Boil size...
I made mistake in brewing my version of the beer, I made a boil of 2.5 gallons and did not compensate for the hop utilization in the small boil (i.e. not a 5 gallon boil). According to BeerSmith, it made my IBUs range at about 10.
So I ask all you guys, how much will this effect the end...
Excited about this one. This is going to be my first solo brew after a three-year hiatus. Sounds like it should be awesome.
I am going with:
4lbs Bavarian Wheat Dry Malt Extract
1/2lbs Cara-Pills
1lbs Honey (Cali)
1 oz (1/2 at 45 min. and 1/2 at 15 min) Cascade Hops
3 Oranges (zest)...
