Hi all,
I have been a member of this site now for a long while and have read through the topics extensively, however this is my first time posting. I have been tinkering with kits and bits for the better part of 3 years and over that time I have managed to piece together the bits I need to get into all grain brewing. I have opted to go for the BIAB method. What I was hoping to pick your brains about was my first crack at a recipe, I am very partial to the Stone and Wood pacific ale and also Matilda Bay's Fat Yak (although have slowly been losing interest in it due to the drop in quality). Anyway here is the recipe;
2kg Pale
1kg Vienna
1kg Wheat
250g Cara Malt
Mash @ 65 degrees for 60 mins
Hop Schedule:
10g Simcoe @ 60 min
10g Simcoe @ 10 min
10g Galaxy @ 0 min
Dry Hop 5g Simcoe
Dry Hop 5g Galaxy
Yeast will be a safale us-05 (I think that is it)
I am not trying to clone either of the first two beers just trying to get a nice hopped beer with a good floral aroma and taste. Not overly bittered, but not too weak either. I have not had a chance to try any programs like beersmith or the like - and am a little perplexed trying to predict expected IBU's sorry if I sound a little naive.
I do have two select fridges that I use for kegging so this beer will be put on tap with a few bottles to keep for a rainy day. I can also control temp for fermenting in one of my fridges. Any advice on this first recipe would be greatly appreciated - and possibly what it may turn out like. Oh I had some help with the Recipe from my LHBS so cant take all the credit.
Cheers Sean
On a side note I am from Brissy and am blown away with the number of experienced Brewers on this site really looking forward to network on here and gain further advice as I jump into AG brewing - Just taken me awhile to pop up and post something
