G-Day!
Long time reader, first time poster. Have been brewing for a bit over a year, all grain for 9 months and now use the Brewzilla 35L. I still bottle.
Have been working on creating my own recipe for months, and every time I have a crack at it, I change it. I enjoy all styles, but find myself coming back to PA, APA, XPA, IPA.
I am a father of 1.5, (Pregnant wife) and like to have a couple of beers after work. I enjoy running around wearing the little one out.
The recipe I am trying to design is going to be an APA around 4%, light to drink, medium hop forward, but still with a little body to not make it feel like a low ABV beer. Can anyone look at my recipe and give any pointers. Feel free to tear it to shreds or pat me on the back. I'm all ears.
Im happy to just give it a crack and report back, I just wanted to avoid disappointment.
