For Christmas I got a gift certificate to my LHBS so I'm planning on a brew day next week. I'm going to do a 2.5 gallon AG batch of 90 minute IPA.
7 lbs Briess 2-row Brewers Malt (or 2-row pale malt depending on what's in stock)
1 lb Amber Malt
Since this is my first AG batch I don't know what my efficiency is going to be so I'm picking up a pound of DME just in case.
Beersmith is telling me I should have a 1.082 OG at 70% efficiency with an estimated ABV of 7.8%
I haven't decided on the hops yet, it's going to depend on what's in stock, but I'm hoping for Amarillo, Chinook, and Warrior. Thinking of going with a mix of 1 oz Amarillo, .5 oz Chinook and Warrior and doing equal additions every 5 minutes and then dry hopping with .5 oz of each for a week before bottling.
Now to clean out the hall closet and turn it into my brew closet.
