so i brewed my first batch two days ago. just a little one-gallon batch to get a feel for things before i start making big purchases and big mistakes. extra pale lme, some hops... based off some information i found on the internets... everything went fine until...well, today, when i found out what i had actually done. my recipe called for hallertau and saaz hops, and i thought well, okay, i don't have those, but i do have these!!! galena and cascade.
fast-forward to today, i learned about alpha/beta acids and bittering units. and decided to go to my old bookmarked Brewer's Friend Recipe Calculator and plugged in my recipes.
this is the wheat beer i was about to make. i'm actually staring at the starter right now. (from the bottom of sierra nevada kellerweiss bottles, we'll see how that goes...)
this is the pale ale i just made.
