For my second beer, I decided to sort of venture out and create my own brew. I feel I have a fairly decent idea of the process, so I wanted to see how I could do own my own without a kit or any ideas. I plugged everything into HopVille and BeerSmith and it all looks pretty good. (Still haven't ventured into all grain though.)
6lbs of Briess Pilsen LME
2lbs of Honey Malt grain
1lbs of Briess Sparkling Amber DME
90 Minute Boil (just so I can compare 60min vs 90min)
1oz of cascade hop pellets at 30
1oz of fuggle hop pellets at 15
1oz of glacier hop pellets at 5
Also going to pitch Burton Ale yeast.
Everything looked good in the calculators, as I'm going for something easy on the IBU this time since my first beer was an IPA.
So what do you guys think? What sort of beer should I expect?
Thanks guys!
