As I slowly get my bits and pieces together to start doing BIAB, I thought I should clear out the cupboard and use up the last of the tins and whatnot lying around. So, with the kids at daycare and the missus out shopping, I threw down a Coopers Mexican Cerveza with a few extras:
Coopers Mexican Cerveza
Coopers brew enhancer 2
300 grams steeped crystal grain
50 grams dextrose (really was clearing out the cupboard!)
15g galaxy at 20 min
10g Williamette at 15 min
15g Amarillo at 15 min
15g Galaxy at 5 minutes
Pitched safale US 05 at 20 degrees
In hindsight, I probably could have upped the boil time for the Williamette for a bit more bitterness, but I'm hoping for a nice easy drinking beer with a fair bit of aroma, which should be ready to drink while I do my first BIAB!!
Anyone got any thoughts on this? The sample tastes pretty bloody good and smells wonderful. I have a bit more galaxy, and am still tossing up whether I should dry hop with it, as I always see mixed reviews of it when dry hopped.
