Hello all,
I came up with a recipe that I'd like your feedback on.
5 gallon batch
2.5 gallon boil
6 lbs Wheat LME
.5 lbs Carapils
1.25 ounce Hallertau Pellets(4.2%)
.5 ounce Corriander Seed
2 ounces Sweet Orange Peel
WLP-400 Yeast
OG: 1.045
IBU: 18.7
Color: 3.7
Estimated FG: 1.011
ABV: 4.4%
Heat 2.5 gallons of water to 152-156 degrees. Add Carapils and steep 30 min. Then add 3 lbs Wheat LME and bring to boil. Add hops and boil for 60 min. Remove from heat and add remaining 3 lbs Wheat LME. Chill wort in ice bath to 80 degrees. Add to ferm bucket and fill to 5 gallon mark with cool filtered water. Stir for 5 min to mix and areate. Pitch WLP-400 at 68 degrees.
Due to the size of my brew kettle, I'm only able to boil about 2.5 gallons. Adding half the LME should bring the wort gravity to around 1.043 which should be good for the hop boil. Adding the other half of the LME at flameout will keep this brew as light as possible. Planning on fermenting this at 72 degrees for 10-14 days. This will be going into 12 ounce bottles.
What do you think? Any suggested changes or tips? This will be my first 5 gallon batch.
Cheers!
