Great thread when you're in the mood to brew something simple and tasty and only have around $20 in your pocket!

 

[tarmenel]

This is a great idea. Esspecially for us beginners. Keep it simple.

Marris Otter
Munich
Centennial

(Thought I could also make a LOT of substitutions with this and come up with a great beer! Simple can often can be best.)

Grain percentages?
IBU's and hop addition times?
Dryhop?

Grain percentages?
IBU's and hop addition times?
Dryhop?

With those three ingredients and not style listed...the answers are yes, yes, and yes.

What do YOU want to make from the combo?

 

[SnakeRidge]

My House Pale is 90% US 2-Row and 10% Red Wheat. Mash at 154*

I've used cascades, columbus, centennial, amarillo, nelson sauvin, mosaic, galaxy and more in various iterations of this brew (single hopped).

I know that for my system and efficiency, 10# grain in a 5.5gal batch will give me a 1.050 OG and US-05 at 65* will take it down to 1.012

Guaranteed brain dead simple tasty brew.

That's probably #2 in my list. I did MO/Special B/Aromatic with a hefty helping of Chinook. 5 gallons lasted about a week and a half...

 

[Praiodan]

2 Row
Munich
Crystal Hops

 

[SnakeRidge]

what's your favorite combo?

I meant that I use all those listed as single hop (to fit the OP), but Cascade and Columbus is my go to combo. Classic and timeless (to me at least!)

Help me out because I have no idea and I use Special B is almost anything I can get away with. Love that stuff.

Which commercial beer is that?

I brewed my recommendation on the 25th...95% MO, 5% Rye, 100% Simcoe...WY1272...which is slow as all get out. I didn't realize that and my patience is being tried as well. 8 days in and still krausen up the wazzo. I just want to try it so bad.

Anyway, I used a lot of Simcoe and probably should have dialed it back, but I'm going to run with it.

Have you used Simcoe alone before? I've heard people don't like it by itself (can't remember why). I love it in my IPAs though. Especially with Columbus or citra.

 

[TheMattTrain]

I made a MO/Mosaic SMaSH about 6 months ago. It was awesome. I'd add some Vienna or Munich to it... maybe some Crystal 40 to give it a little more complexity.

MO/mosaic SMaSH is on my list too. I like the idea of adding either vienna or munich.

Arrogant Bastard

Arrogant Bastard

Might explain my love of that flavor then...big fan of the not-oaked arrogant Bastard.

Nope. But I'm doing it because it's too late for me now.
Some beers I enjoy that are all simcoe are hoppyum and double simcoe, so I am hoping for similar delicious results.

Arrogant Bastard

I am not! Maybe a bastard, never arrogant!

 

[ktblunden]

Double Bastard?

 

[TheSmithsEra]

Yea I've heard it said before because it supposedly gives off that menthol hop flavor.

100 MO
Fuggle hops
British yeast

 

[Brauer]

I have a Marris/Centennial SMaSH kegged right now and it's great. Sub 10% Munich or C40 and

 

[TheMattTrain]

MO/mosaic SMaSH is on my list too. I like the idea of adding either vienna or munich.

MO/Mosaic SMaSH may end up as a house beer for me. I've only been brewing for a year and a half, so I have only come up with a handful of original recipes that I love, but that SMaSH is killer. Adding a little Vienna or Munich sounds delicious though. I did 6oz total for 5 gallons. I believe I did 1oz at 60, 1.5oz at 15, 1.5oz at 0 and 2oz dry hop for 4 days.

Great. Now I can't wait to make this one!
