So, this will be the first recipe I have conjured up on my own. I wanted to do something a little different and I need all you nice experienced brewers opinions on how this might turn out. I'm going to take a honey amber and hop it up pretty good. I don't have a lot of good experience with different ingredients. However, here is what I plan to use:
For fermentables:
Amber Malt Extract
Gambrinus Honey Malt Grain
Bries Caracrystal Wheat Malt Grain
Clover Honey
*I plan to steep the grains and then add the extract at the start of the boil, honey at the end.
For Hops:
Apollo at the start of the boil (For a lot of bittering)
Cascade in the middle
Citra toward the end
For Spices:
Sweet Orange Peel
Seeds of Paradise
*Both added in the last 5 minutes or so.
For my yeast:
Either California WLP001 or East Coast WLP 008. Maybe combine the two?
The batch will be 5.5 gallons and I'm looking for an OG of around 1.070.
Any questions, comments, opinions or concerns are welcome!
