Hey all,
I'm looking to brew an American pale ale. I want a medium bitterness, strong fruity character with the sweeter malt backbone to balance well. I was thinking
1.056 OG (1.010 FG Target)
49% Pilsner malt (1-2SRM)
49% Light Munich (6-8SRM)
2% Honey malt
35-45 IBUs
Hops used will be dependent on the best quality I can find on brew day that fits the profile (mosaic, NZ Hops, citra, el dorado, maybe belma)
I wanted to have a clean, sweeter base without using crystal malts (except honey if you count that)
Minimal yeast character, WLP001 as baseline. Strong starter- I don't want this to stall out at 1.018.
Thoughts?
