I feel like I'm about to enter a new phase of my brewing career - one where I actually know what I'm doing
Thanks to this site and howtobrew.com, I now understand things like hot and cold break etc. mean, and have a better idea how to plan and make a brew.
This being the case, I really want my next batch to be good. What do people think of the following recipe (my own) for a pale ale?
1.5 kg pale LME
1 kg light DME
250g crystal grain (steeped)
200g dextrose
200g dried corn syrup
25g Golden Cluster hops (1hr boil)
12.5g Goldings hops (30min boil)
12.5g Goldings hops (10min boil)
12g Goldings hops (dry hopping - steeped then into fermenter)
11.5g dry Safale S-04 yeast
Fermentation at ~18-20 deg C
I will add my bittering hops straight after the hot break. All my hops are in pellet form BTW (and the stuff for dry-hopping is in a tea-bag type thingy)
I bought myself a nice big brewing pot today, so I can do a much better boil etc.
Are there any major problems with my plan?
