I'm taking Jamil's Ordinary Bitters recipe and kicking the grain bill just a bit and then throwing in a bunch of flavor/aroma hops.
His OB recipe is right up my alley at around 3.5% and I love the rich malt profile. But I also want the "whoosh" of some nice American hops at the end. This is the first time I'm doing all back-loaded hops (no 60 minute bittering) but I'm still getting a decent 28.1 IBU's.
What do ya think:
Ugly Kettle Pale Ale
Batch Size: 11.00 gal
Boil Size: 13.69 gal
Estimated OG: 1.040 SG
Estimated Color: 8.9 SRM
Estimated IBU: 28.1 IBU
Brewhouse Efficiency: 72.0 %
Boil Time: 80 Minutes
Ingredients:
------------
Amount
12.00 lb Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM)
1.50 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM)
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L
1.00 lb Toasted Malt (27.0 SRM)
1.75 oz Galena [13.00%] (15 min)
1.00 oz Cascade [7.80%] (10 min)
1.00 oz Fuggles [4.50%] (10 min)
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50%] (0 min)
1 Pkgs SafAle English Ale (DCL Yeast #S-04) Yeast-Ale
Mash at 156.
Is the hop bill too complex? Do the varieties step on each other? Im really trying to get a low-bitter, high hop aroma here.
Thoughts?
