New brewer here and just cracked open the first bottle after 3 days in the bottle
Here was my recipe:
12.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 1 9.0 %
1 lbs Light Dry Extract (8.0 SRM) Dry Extract 2 12.0 %
6 lbs 9.6 oz Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 3 79.0 %
1.00 oz Brewer's Gold [8.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 4 15.6 IBUs
1.00 oz Fuggles [4.50 %] - Boil 30.0 min Hop 5 6.8 IBUs
3.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 40.0 min Hop 6 14.1 IBUs
1.0 pkg Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05) [50.28 ml] Yeast 7 -
3.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Dry Hop 3.0 Days Hop 8 0.0 IBUs
I messed up the whirlpool and had the temps drop too fast.
Impression: I am pleasantly surprised. It has a hoppy taste which I like (even the head has a green tinge) I detect a sweetness (?) maybe not, not sure if I know what I am tasting.
Anybody see anything in my recipe that would be "unbalanced" There is something "off".......but on the whole good.
