Hey guys,
Just got into brewing again recently after a long time off and I'm trying to get more familiar with the ingredients. Not ready to step up to AG yet, so I'm doing extract and PM batches.
I was thinking about doing a few SMaSH beers with extra light (100% 2-row) LME. I'd targeted Meridian and Denali hops to start with, just since they sounded interesting and I don't know much about them (whereas I've had plenty of beers that highlight cascade, simcoe, azacca, galaxy, mosaic, citra, etc).
Anyway, here's my basic recipe (for the Meridian version). Please feel free to chime in with any ideas/corrections:
Recipe Type: Extract
Yeast: Safale US-05
Yeast Starter: Nah
Batch Size (Gallons): 5 gal
Original Gravity: 1.048
Final Gravity: 1.007
IBU: 42
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 4-5
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14 days at 65-68F
7 lbs. Extra Light LME (4-4.5 SRM)
1.50 oz Meridian [7.00 %] - Boil 60 min
0.50 oz Meridian [7.00 %] - Boil 15 min
0.50 oz Meridian [7.00 %] - Boil 10 min
0.50 oz Meridian [7.00 %] - Boil 1 min
1.00 oz Meridian [7.00 %] - Dry Hop 7.0 Days
