I am putting together a recipe to brew Wednesday and would love some input... Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 5.72 gal Post Boil Volume: 5.20 gal Batch Size (fermenter): 5.00 gal Bottling Volume: 5.00 gal Estimated OG: 1.056 SG Estimated Color: 15.8 SRM Estimated IBU: 40.5 IBUs Brewhouse Efficiency: 72.00 % Est Mash Efficiency: 72.0 % Boil Time: 60 Minutes Ingredients: ------------ Amt Name Type # %/IBU 8 lbs Canadien 2-row (1.9 SRM) Grain 1 69.6 % 1 lbs Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM) Grain 2 8.7 % 1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM) Grain 3 8.7 % 1 lbs Rye Malt (4.7 SRM) Grain 4 8.7 % 8.0 oz Caramel Malt - 60L (Briess) (60.0 SRM) Grain 5 4.3 % A few changes have taken place, I am using s-05 instead of 04 and the hops I have at the moment are 1oz chinook and 6oz Falconer's 7C's. I was thinking a hop schedule like this... .5oz chinook at 60 min 1oz 7C @ 20 1oz 7C @ 10 1oz 7C @ 5 1oz 7C @ 0 2oz 7C in the keg I'm shooting for about 40ibus and something hoppy but I think this might be a bit much. Let me know your thoughts.
Might be a little heavy on the Aromatic malt, I might cut it in half and replace the remainder with base malt. I haven't used seven c's, so I can't comment on them. I did a pair of hoppy reds with Amarillo/centennial/pacific jade and centennial/EKG that had a very similar hop bill, that turned out nice.
