hello. i am a fairly new brewer so don't beat me up to bad. I have lurked here for a bit but this is my first post. I have brewed a few extract batches and 1 partial grain kit so far. I am not a hopps head and tend to lean toward sweeter beers. I have decided to try something new and did not want copy a recipe from a book some where. kind of wanted to brew something of my own. I stopped off at the local home brew shop tonight and had a good chat with the owner. We talked our way through what kind of beer I might be looking to brew, walked around the shop sniffing and chewing up some things and came up with this recipe.
grain bill
1.0 lb Vienna
1.0 lb crystal 10
1.0 lb white wheat
1.0 lb pilsen
4.5 lb marris otter liquid malt extract
1.0 oz dried sweet orange peel 1/2 at 15min and 30min
2 tbs crushed coriander 1/2 at 15min and 30min
1.5 oz glacier hopps 1/3 at 15min, 30min, 60min
safe brew s-33 yeast
4 gal strike water and 3 gal sparge water
mash in at 162°F and mash for 45min to 1 hour at 152°F
I plan on doing a 6 gal batch. " 5 gal in my keg and bottle the rest"
fermenting in a bucket. the basement is at about 62°F right now and the upstairs is at 66°F. I can ferment either place. In the past have only done primary fermentation .
please tell me your thoughts on this recipe and and what you think this beer might be like once it is finished. I am very new to this so if any of this seems off to you all please tell me.
Thanks for your time.
