Hey, just brewed a beer this past weekend. Went well, except my aluminum brew kettle had pinholes in it and leaked. Long story short, had to use a 4 gallon stainless pot to boil in. So it wasnt a "full" boil. Diluted with 1.5-2 gallons cold water at end to bring to temp.
What I wanted: Complete session beer, with a somewhat malt/sweet flavor, a nice reddish-auburn tint to it, and flavorful and strong hop profile. Heres the recipe, let me know what you think:
7# base
1# honey
1# c40
1# cara-amber
4oz c120
0.5oz Galena @ 60min
0.5oz Cascade @15min
0.5oz Galena @ 5min
0.5oz Cascade @ 5min
I had some Galena I never used before, and wanted to try. My IBU calc brings this around 35-40 IBU's. In the range I wanted, I wasnt very strict about it. What do you guys think? I originally planned to just dry hop with 1oz cascade, but I also have Chinook, and Kent Golding, and Norther Brewer as well. Any combination with those that might sound good? Been thinking 50/50 mix of Chinook/Cascade and dry hop twice, with 1oz of the mix. 5 day dry hop, total 10 days... Any suggestions?
Thanks.
