Hi there,
I made the move to all grain a few months back with success using a kit from morebeer.com. Now I want to learn more about formulating recipes. I figure the best way to do that is to start making SMaSH beers.
So here is my first attempt at a smash. I'd like to get some feedback. I'm shooting for a IPA (my wife loves IPA beers with citrus flavor). I like beers with a malty backbone, so I picked Vienna and Simcoe.
For a 5 gallon batch:
14lb Vienna Malt
1oz Simcoe FWH
1oz Simcoe 20 minutes
.75oz Simcoe 5 minutes
.75oz Simcoe 0 minutes
2oz Simcoe 14 day dry hop
Wyeast Labs 1056 1pkg
Mash Temp 152F for 60 minutes 2 step batch sparge at 168F no mashout
Estimated OG: 1.066
Estimated FG: 1.014
IBU: 62.8
Color: 6.1 SRM
Any feedback will be great.
