Leftover Hallertau Mittlefrau

Breathe deep ... and ... again.
Once more. That's it ... easy ... yeah
Sleep on it. OK?

You might want to compute some IBUs there. Your plan would be pretty dang bitter. I'm guessing you won't need to buy more cascade.

 

How many gallons? 3 oz HM in 5 gallons plus 8 oz of cascade sounds absurd.

 

Bitter with something bland, hit it with the 3oz of HM in the last 15 mins, ferment with the US-05 low, keep cold a few weeks. Mok-toberfest in December. I wouldn't waste Noble hops.

 

Hallertau middle woman?

 

I would save the noble for another recipe and do a Munich/Cascade SMaSH. If you're hell-bent on using all of the Cascade, save 3oz for dry hop and hop burst with the rest for BU:GU of .8.

 

No, I think you have too much hops for the grain bill. Or rather, I wouldn't use this much.

Unless you have made a similar beer before and like it, I'll say it again...you might want to compute some IBUs before brewing this.

 

Missed that one. I wonder how often it has slipped by me.

 

Just throw an ounce of cascade as first wort hops then throw 8 Oz of cascade at 180F hop stand for 30 minutes.

 

smash it with cascade. 10 oz cascade with 12 lbs Munich is going to make a helluva powerful beer tho. I'd bitter to about 30 IBUs then blast it with about 4 oz cascade at flameout and 2 oz dry hop. Virtually guaranteed to make a tasty beer.

 

You want opinions, eh? Well, OK, here's one: brewing is pretty easy, but it's not so easy that you can just throw ingredients together based on the amounts you happen to have on hand and expect to get great results. The plan you outline above will, IMO, produce a terrible beer. You're looking at 100+ IBU for a 1.060-ish beer, so the BU/GU would be off the charts. Having that kind of bitterness in a single malt beer is not something most people are going to enjoy.

Better to think this through, come up with a recipe that has a better chance for success. You don't have to use all of this stuff up now, you know.

 

I would still reserve that HM for it's own beer. Not sure it would come through too much behind all that Cascade. 5oz of Cascade could get you a decent Pale Ale.
