10min 3CCC's Vienich Ale

[brianman]

Trying something a bit different. When i first started brewing, all brews were around mid 20sIBU, now after years of slowly increasing to were i don't mind low 30s. But really love a good IPA. Not sure if it's the maltyness or the hopyness, probably the combination. So am going a bit left field with this recipe. Not trying to be an IPA, just something malty & hoppy.

10min 3CCC's Vienich Ale

2.9kg Wey Munich 1
2.0kg Wey Vienna
0.3kg Wey Carahell
20gm Chinook @ 10min
20gm Centennial @ 10min
20gm Columbus @ 10min
US 05

28lts @ 25.5IBU & 5% ABV

Mash for medium body.

Any comments more than welcome, have ordered grains already, but not sure whether IBU's should be a bit higher to comlement the Malt & Hops or anything else i should consider.

I'd be getting the hops up to mid 30's at least, especially with a mix of munich/vienna/xtal.

Wouldn't hurt getting the IBUs to 40 for a ~0.8 BU/GU ratio.

14gms Galaxy @ 60min gives approx .84BU/GU, i'll give that a go.

Forgot to ask, is an Ale an Ale if you don't use Ale/Pale ale malt?, not sure what style guide to put this under.

 

[drtomc]

An beer is an ale if it uses an ale yeast, and a lager if it uses a lager yeast.

May want to check on using galaxy to bitter I have read somewhere it is harsh ( but idk from experience just a post I think)

Agreed I would avoid galaxy any later than 15 min additions.
