Folks,
I'm brewing this weekend and realized that the only hops I have in the freezer is about 4 oz of Horizon. I've never used it before so I'm a bit nervous about going all-in but I've heard that they can be used for both bittering and aroma/flavor. Has anyone had good luck with an all-Horizon brew?
I don't have the full recipe handy but here's what I remember.
10.5 lbs Pale Malt
1 lb crystal 40
1 lb light Munich
.25 oz Horizon @ 60min
2 oz Horizon @ 10min
1 oz Horizon @ 5 min
US-05 yeast
Other notes:
> 6 gal batch size (I get horrible efficiency ~65% so this will yield about 5% ABV)
> mashing @ 147 for 90min
> Fly sparge; no mashout
> 90 minute boil
> plan to ferment at 67 for 2 days, 65 for remainder (conical in a frig)
What do you think? Opinions wanted!
