Pretty new to recipes, fooled around a couple times previously to try and clone wailua wheat, but never really got close, so i had just stuck with making recipes of the forum.
I'm looking to make a hoppy pale ale kinda. I'm not a huge ipa fan, but they are starting to grow on me. I like carton boat, and red rye returning a lot, there right at about 35 ibu.
Im insterested in red x and also rye. Ive never used either malts before. Ive read that red x is similar to munich. I have a half pound of cascade, 2 ounces of bramling cross, 1 ounce of mosaic, 1 ounce of wakatu. Here's my recipe:
6 Gallon
OG: 1.052 (70% eff)
30 Ibu
8lbs 2 row pale
2lbs red x
1.5lbs rye
.5lb crystal 60L
.5oz wakatu 7% AA 30 min
1oz cascade 7% AA 30 min
2oz cascade 7% AA hop stand 175 for 15 min
.5oz wakatu 7% AA hop stand 175 for 15 min
London III ale yeast
Im definitely looking to do some dry hopping as well. I'd like to use the the hop varieties i have now, but I'd like to reserve 3 ounces of the cascade for another recipe.
I'm looking for hop flavor and aroma rather then bittering, that's why I'm starting with additions at 30 minutes. I love mosaic hops, used them a couple times and really liked them a lot, but there pretty fresh and the wakatu I bought on sale since they were old, so I'd like to use them up before the mosaic. The bramling cross Ive looked up, but just undecided where I'd want to use um. I've never used them before. The London III yeast I've read is supposed to be the conan equivalent. I've read that it gives some fruity esters, but ive never used it before. It seems to be used with ipas a lot, so I don't know how it will do with a lower hopped beer.
Please make any suggestions, I have made my,own recipes, but pretty much flew by the seat of my pants. The resulting beer was always drinkable but was never anything special and always lacking something, either hop aroma, body or at times just bland, so lemme know if this would even make anything remotely drinkable. I used a couple different recipes for a basis.
Thanks all.
