Well, I am expecting a new addition to my family in May, so that gives me about 6 months. I want to unveil a special ale to my friends and family when they are visiting and to celebrate. I am thinking I will give this brew 2 weeks in primary, two months in secondary and bottle condition for three months. Because of the long cellar time, no aroma or dry hopping will be used. Here is the recipe I plan on using. What do you think?
7.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 45.16 %
5.00 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 32.26 %
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 6.45 %
1.00 lb Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 6.45 %
1.00 lb Wheat Malt, Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 6.45 %
0.50 lb Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 3.23 %
1.00 oz Chinook [13.00 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 37.6 IBU
0.50 oz Summit [18.00 %] (30 min) Hops 18.2 IBU
0.50 oz Summit [18.00 %] (10 min) Hops 8.6 IBU
1 Pkgs SafAle English Ale (DCL Yeast #S-04) Yeast-Ale
75-80 IBUS
SRM roughly 20
mash at 154 for 60 minutes
OG roughly 1.080 with my equipment...
I am hoping the summit and chinook hops will work well together and that this will age well.....any suggestions are sure welcome.
