n00b brewer help needed here in terms of styling and hops.
I have two batches fermenting right now that are both heavily hopped IPA's, but with the heat of summer quickly approaching I want to put together a nice, light post-lawnmowing beer.
Here is what I have come up with so far:
Name: GF Light Summer Ale
Boil Volume: 2 gal. Boil Length: 60 min. Target Volume: 5 gal.
ABV: 4.3%
SRM: 3
IBU: 32
Fermentables
Sorghum Syrup 2 lbs. 5.00 oz.
Rice Syrup 2 lbs. 10.00 oz.
Belgian Soft Candi Sugar, Blonde 1 lbs.
Honey 1 lbs.
Hops
Centennial (Usa) 1 oz. @ 60 min
Cascade (Usa) 0.25 oz. @ 30 min.
Cascade (Usa) 0.25 oz. @ 15 min.
Safale American Ale (US-05) 73
Maltodextrin 4 oz. and I will probably try some Whirlfloc in this batch.
Let me know what you guys think. Especially with type of hops used.
