Okay, so every recipe I have seen, no one seems to have brewed them to give any feedback. I am very interested in doing this beer, but want some feedback first. If I don't get feedback, it will go on the brew schedule in the next couple of months.
Targets:
SG=1.092 FG=1.016 IBU=120 ABV=10% EBC=26
Actual:
SG=1.092 FG~1.016 IBU=124.3 ABV=10.1% EBC=25 Efficiency~75%
18lb Briess 2-row pale ale
10oz Briess Crystal 120L
Mash at 148F for 1 hour
1.5oz Chinook for 60 minutes
1oz Simcoe for 30 minutes
1.5 Amarillo for 8 minutes
0.5 Centennial for 8 minutes
Dryhop
1oz Amarillo for 7 days
1oz Simcoe for 7 days
1oz Centennial for 7 days
I use Rager for my IBU calculations. I should be able to get at least 75% efficiency as I average about 80%, even on the DFH90 minute. I hit around 75% for the DFH120 as well (that was a pain to batch sparge, but worth it). I expect the color to be a bit darker because I usually get more color than I expect, but it doesn't seem to effect the final beer.
I know I am probably a bit heavy on the Amarillo aroma addition, but I love that particular aroma.
Give me the feedback and don't be afraid to offend me by telling me I am wrong on my recipe.
