Recipe Type: Extract, Base & Specialty grains
Yeast: Irish Ale - Wyeast Labs #1084 (prior slurry)
Yeast Starter: Light DME
Batch Size (Gallons): 5
Original Gravity: 1.054
Final Gravity: 1.014
ABV: 5.3
IBU: 24 (plus coopers prehopped can 18) 42*
Boiling Time (Minutes): 45*, Extract last 15
Color/SRM: 7 Gold to Copper
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 10 Days at 68-75* degrees
Bottling/Conditioning (# of Days & Temp): 10-14 Days at 68-75* degrees
*Optimally would like fermentation temps around 68 but can't regulate my basement temps that well, fluctuates between these temps throughout summer.
The Yeast isn't common for this beer either I would think, but want to utilize a prior yeast slurry I have.
Batch Size: 5 gal
Boil Size: 4 gal
Boil Time: 60 Minutes
Ingredients:------------
Amount Item
3.75 lb Coopers Aus pale ale LME 42%
2 lb Pale Malt 2-row US 22%
2 lb Vienna malt 22%
1 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt 20L 6%
0.25 lb Biscuit Malt 3%
0.5 oz Centennial (40 min)
0.5 oz Centennial (15 min)
0.5 oz Cascade (5 min)
0.5 oz Cascade (dryhop carboy 10 days)
Single infusion mash at 155 degrees steep for 30 min. Sparge with 165 deg water bring up to 4 gallons. (*Probably wont need 60min boil for hops schedule), might suffer a little bit on the attenuation but atleast no risk of tannins, plus it is mostly extract.
I thought I would need centennial to bring up the bitterness more, but wondering if really need be. Better hop choices? Will half an ounce of cascade bring enough aroma and taste you think?
For grains any other additions that would work, or different amounts for listed? I think it seems pretty balanced shouldn't be too malty The Gravity/Hops Ratio chart has it at "slightly hoppy" (light green).
