Hi, I'm new on here and also fairly new to brewing. I've made 2 extract brews so far - one with grains (a Amarillo Pale Ale and an Fuller's ESB clone).
I'm trying to devise a summery US influenced pale ale/IPA at the moment and wondered what people thought of my recipe. I'm a bit worried it's too hop heavy although i do want to aim for an big, hoppy beer. Here it is:
Predicted OG: 1.056
Predicted FG: 1.015
Predicted ABV: 5.5%
Colour: 18EBC (9SRM)
IBUs: 45.2
Boil Size: 8L
Batch Size: 20L
Grains:
3kg Light Dry Malt Extract
300g Crystal 20L (steeped for 30mins)
100g Biscuit Malt (steeped for 30mins)
Hops:
35g Columbus (Tomahawk) (16.1%AA) 60mins
20g Centennial (12.3%AA) 15mins
20g Nelson Sauvin (12.6%AA) 15mins
15g Centennial (12.3%AA) 5mins
15g Nelson Sauvin (12.6%AA) 5mins
15g Centennial leaf (12.3%AA) at flame out for 5mins
20g Centennial dry hop 7days
15g Nelson Sauvin dry hop 7days
Yeast:
Safale US-05
Misc:
tsp Irish Moss 15mins
I might miss out the biscuit malt yet, haven't decided.
Thanks in advance for any help :)
