Hi All,
I'm preparing to do my first all-grain batch, and am looking for some input on the recipe. I'd like to do a hopped up Irish Red Ale. So far here is what I've come up with:
8lb 2-row
1lb Brown malt
1lb Crystal 40L
Mash 60min @ 152f
1oz Hallertauer Tradition (7%AA) @60min
1oz Galaxy (14.9%AA) @10min
1oz Galaxy@ 5min
1oz Galaxy@ 0min
My questions are:
Is this too much Galaxy? I like the galaxy hop but will this schedule leave the beer one-dimensional?
I have some Sorachi Ace lying around, would these work in this recipe?
How does the malt bill look? Its based on a recipe kit that can be purchased at my LHBS, with mainly the hop schedule being different.
Should I do a dry hop?
Thanks in advance for the help!
