This weekend will my first water chemistry focused brew day and after inputing my local water analysis into the Brewer's Friend's water calculator I tweaked it until I came up with 5 green stars at the bottom. Like I said, this is my first run at it. I appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks.
Here's the recipe with the additions:
Grains
9lbs - Pilot Malt House Michigan Two Row
8oz - Caramel 20L
8oz - Carapils
Water Additives
5g of Gypsum
2g of CaCL
4g of Epsom Salt
4g of NaCL
4ml of Lactic Acid
Estimated Mash pH: 5.4
Boil Additions
0.5oz - Centennial @ First Wort
1oz - Cascade @ 20 min
1oz - Cascade @ 10 min
0.2oz - Dried Lavender @ 2 min
0.2oz - Dried Camomile @ 2 min
1.5oz - Orange Zest @ 2 min
2oz - Citra @ flame out (10 min hop stand)
1oz - Citra @ Dry Hop
1oz - Cascade @ Dry Hop
Yeast
1 packet - US-05
Mash
Sacch’ Rest - 152° F for 60 minutes
Mashout - 170° F for 10 minutes
Fermentation
61° F for ~4 days
70° F until fully attenuated
Here's the description of the brew at a local brewer I'm trying to clone, "Lavender flower and Citra hop aroma entice your senses, leading your palate to a subtly sweet, medium-bodied brew. The orange zest balances the lavender and chamomile flowers allowing not one ingredient to overwhelm your palate. Bitterness is imparted with a long, dry finish, leaving you asking for another sip."
