I have access to a local brewery yeast and it's 1056 basically. I'm looking to do Orfy's Hobgoblin II recipe with a tweak to get the IBUs up a tad to get it into the ESB range.
Three Questions:
Would 1056 be okay for a Hobgoblin clone? The attenuation is what worries me - it's higher than the recommended 1275 for that one in terms of liquid yeast.
Second - Does anyone know what the IBUs for the original is? Per Orfy's II recipe, it's a little low on the IBUs.
Lastly - What variation in Orfy's Hobgoblin II recipe would get a dark Ruby color (Caramalt 60 - 75 - 80) or does the II recipe already do that. I'm looking at Beersmith and I'm having an issue on verifying it if it's red vs brown. Have people used this recipe and is it dark ruby red?
Oh - has only taken 5 gallon recipes in Beersmith 2 and scaled it to say 150 gal or 300? Did they come out okay?
Thanks!!!
