Creating Smash Recipe

[rbtmc]

Hey guys,

About to smash out a BIAB brew, I have my ingredients ready, just not sure how I should do my hop additions

Ingredients:

5KG Crisp Maris Otter
160g Amarillo
US-50

How does this look:

10g @ 90min
20g @ 30min
40g @ 10min
20g @ 5min

70g dry hopped

~40 IBU's

? Cheers :icon_cheers:

Looks good mate! You could probably get away with a 60, 20 and 5/10 min addition, but other then that it should be tastey!
Enjoy :beerbang:

 

[stef]

Hope you like amarillo... 70gs dry hop is a fair bit?

 

[rbtmc]

Should make it nice and hoppy no?

I've been dissapointed in the lack of hop flavour in my last couple of brews.

 

[beerdrinkingbob]

I'd keep the IBU's at 40 but change the boil to 60 unless you have a reason for it, then change to this hop schedule, I think it would give you better depth of flavour and aroma.

Hops @

45
20
10
5
Dry hop

Each to their own mate, any recipe with 160 grams will taste great

Are you nochilling/using a cube? If so this may come out a little more bitter than expected...

 

[rbtmc]

Hey Bob,

I figured I would go with a 90min boil as I'm going by the URN BIAB tutorial in the AG subforum.
I'm a little worried a 60min boil would leave my OG a little lower than I want. Thoughts?

Cheers

 

[rbtmc]

I'm no chilling in the urn (so shoot me )

Will this mess up the IBU's I'm shooting for?

You should have a good idea after the mash, my gravity doesn't change much from preboil to post 90 or 60, I guess if your pretty happy with it preboil no need but if your efficiency is shot boil away.

Is this one of your first AG's?

Edit, yeah no chill will, I will leave that one to a no chiller!!

 

[Spork]

Put recipe into brewmate.
Click the "no chill" box.
Calculates the increased IBU's for you.
Adjust hops as nescessary.

 

[rbtmc]

Cheers Spork.

Preboil OG looks to be 10.46 (didn't sparge).
Guess that'll do I'll go with a 60min boil and see how we go.

Edit:

Hop additions - I think I'll try the following: (~40 IBU with no chill function enabled)

5g @ 45min
10g @ 20min
20g @ 10min
30g @ 5min

Which leaves me about 100grams to dry hop with (too much?)

 

[Tony]

I find a hopping schedule of 45 min, 10 min, flame out is awsome

If you want a nice character from the hops to really find out what they are like (which is what SMASH does best) go with:

Bittering @ 45 min to IBU required
10 min @ 1g/L
FO @ 1.5 or 2g/L

keep it at around 1.048 or so and bitter to around 30 - 35 IBU for a well balanced beer. you are using a single base malt and dont have any "extras" in the grist to hold up too much bitterness, so ballence it well so the hop chatacter and malt character both shine! you dont want bitterness dominating in a pale beer and hops being lost in the bite.

And dont dry hop........ Use a SMASH to learn the character of a malt and hop. Make ann IAPA and dry hop that once you know what they all do before combining them!

enjoy!

Cheers

Leaving it in the urn overnight to cool is the same as nochilling. I wacked it into brewmate and it says your IBUs will go up to 64. Maybe you could do this

5@ 90
15@ 30
25@ 10
15@ 5

Or add another kilo of marris otter, keep the original addtions and have an OG of 1058 and IBUs of 59.

If you don't have brewmate i'd highly recommend it. Easy to use and has the nochill factor conveniently calculated for you. Oh and its free as well which is great.

 

[rbtmc]

Thanks Tony that sounds like some sound advice. Although I am pretty keen to dry hop this

Boil just started, I've opted to go with your hop schedule ekul.
If this doesn't turn out to be a 'dead set quaffer' you are not invited to come around and nose it.

Thanks all for your patience. One day maybe I can become a brew meister and pass down the knowledge.

 

[Jace89]

I was gonna say add 100g+ with 10mins left, or if no chilling at flame out . But you started awhile ago, so maybe next time. How did the brew go anyways?

What's up Jace?

Still only 40 min through the 90 min boil

Hot thstuff comin through!

Cheers.

 

[rbtmc]

Post-boil gravity reading: 10.60!
Estimated IBU: 35

Going by what Tony said I was considering not dry hopping this, but my first urn BIAB brew (sitting in a fermenter) has not been dry hopped. So I will give this one a good dry hopping.

I'm thinking 30 grams for 1 week. Haven't had a lot of experience though, does this sound like a decent amount? I like a hoppy beer.

Cheers.

Was going to do a series of SMASH brews to get my taste bud working and first of the rank is a vienna pale ale

4.7kg Vienna (Weyermann)

25 deg mash in
52 deg 10min
67 deg 60min
72 deg 45min
78 deb 10min

Northern Brewer FWH to 31IBU
Northern Brewer @15min 9IBU

Ferment with US-05 @18 deg

OG 1.053
FG 1.011

Does this sound as though it will work

I am not too familiar with Northern Brewer, From what I have read it is very much like Hallertau should I add a later hop addition, i.e. flameout? or will it not work out too well?

I have read that late Northern Brewer additions give a 'minty' taste, but Anchor Steam hops their beer supposedly very similarly to how you are planning, and it is a fantastic beer.

I am not too keen on minty beers, but I guess I will never know unless I give it a go...
