Now that I have a few batches of beer and one batch of Joe's Ancient Orange Mead under my belt, I want to try experimenting with my own recipes in small batches. I'm going for a braggot/IPA cross so I don't mind it coming out a bit hot and winey. Before I get started, I'd just like to get a second opinion to make sure I'm not making a huge mistake.
For 1 gallon(EDITED to show RonPopeil's changes):
STATS:
Original Gravity: 1.097
Final Gravity: 1.023
ABV (standard): 9.71%
IBU (tinseth): 77.72
SRM (morey): 9.43
FERMENTABLES:
1 lb - Honey - (late addition) (33.3%)
1.5 lb - American - Pale 2-Row (50%)
0.5 lb - American - Caramel / Crystal 20L (16.7%)
HOPS:
0.2 oz - Amarillo, Type: Pellet, AA: 8.8, Use: Boil for 60 min, IBU: 37.76
0.2 oz - Amarillo, Type: Pellet, AA: 8.8, Use: Boil for 15 min, IBU: 18.74
0.2 oz - Amarillo, Type: Pellet, AA: 8.8, Use: Boil for 10 min, IBU: 13.69
0.2 oz - Amarillo, Type: Pellet, AA: 8.8, Use: Boil for 5 min, IBU: 7.53
0.2 oz - Amarillo, Type: Pellet, AA: 8.8, Use: Boil for 0 min
OTHER INGREDIENTS:
0.2 oz - Dried orange peel, at end of boil
YEAST:
White Labs - California Ale Yeast WLP001
I'm thinking of maybe bringing down the IBUs by boiling the hops less, but other than that I feel like I'm ready to go. Thoughts? Suggestions?
