Pale Ale (simcoe, FF, citra, mosaic)

[Shoggoths]

Hi gang,
I’ve been lurking here for a while. First post though.

I started hombrewing last november. Since, I brewed 2 all-grains and one partial extract beer. Most recipes from BierMuncher (thanks by the way!). And everything went fine.

I’m looking for a new batch and would like to know if you find this recipe equilibrated. Does it seem alright ? I’m trying to do an hoppy APA not to high in alcohol. If my efficiency is better, I know I will reach 6% ABV but I find it still reasonable. I would really like a 5,5 % though.

****5 Gallon Batch****

Batch Size: 19 litres
Boil Size: 24 litres
Estimated OG: 1.051 SG
Estimated Color: 6 SRM
Estimated IBU: 53.2 IBU
Brewhouse Efficiency: 60.0 %
Boil Time: 60 Minutes
ABV 5.43%

Ingredients:
------------
Amount
9.75 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
0.40 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Corn Sugar
0.25 oz Simcoe + 0,25 oz Falconer’s Flight (30 min)
0.25 oz Simcoe + 0,25 oz FF + 0,25 oz Mosaic (5 min)
0.5 oz Citra + 0,5 oz Mosaic + 0,5 oz FF (whirpool)
0.5 oz Citra + 0,5 oz Mosaic + 0,5 oz FF (Dry Hop 7 days)

1 Pkgs Safale-05 (Hydrated)


Mash at 153 degrees for 60 minutes.

Any recommandations ?

Thank you very much.

Looks good to me.

You may not need the dextrose, for an IPA or double IPA, sure, but you're making a pale ale and mashing at a moderate temp. I'd do without it.

That hop bill should be delicious. Falconer's flight should really balance out the other more fruity varieties nicely.

Make sure you try to hit 65-68 degrees with that US 05 for fermentation.

Thank you very much for your answer Desertbrewer.

I thought I had posted my question in the wrong section so I started another one here :

and asked a moderator to delete this one.

I'll try your suggestion and let the dextrose aside.

First time with the FF and the bag is vacuum sealed so I don't even know what it smell like yet! I'm use to US-05 so should be alright

Thank again.

Cheers.
