Hi there - first post on this forum but I've been lurking for a while and read a lot, so thanks!
New to home brewing with only 4 kits + extras under my belt, but swiftly getting into it
Loving super hoppy American IPA styles at the moment as I'm sure many on here are. At the moment it seems that a beer just can't be too hoppy for me, although I'm sure I'll get through this phase
Having enjoyed beers such as the Brewdog Punk and hardcore IPA's, then seeing these described by some pundits on US beer review sites as 'run of the mill' West Coast pale ales, I'm intrigued to try a proper West Coast double IPA hop bomb - and a standout in that category seems to be the Green Flash.
I'm ready to try a full extract brew given that I already have a big pot (22l) and outside burner for canning, but no chiller (do I need one?).
This is a recipe that i found on this site in the US http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/forum/vie...?f=&t=14268 . It seems to be pushing the right buttons for the people who have tried it.
I have played around in Beersmith for the first time and come up with the following extract attempt. I would love a bit of feedback on this recipe.
A US user commented that a good start for extract would be 84% Pale LME, 8% crystal malt 40L, steeped and 8% maltodextrine. I tried the maltodextrine in beersmith, but I think my FG is looking a bit high as it is (1017 v's 1013-1014 in the AG recipe) so I subbed for dextrose to keep the FG down but the ABV up. Anyway its real guesswork as a first ever recipe attempt, but see what you think. The IBU's, colour and ABV are close(ish). It's hoppy!
Note also I couldn't remove the maltodex from the recipe?? I just set the quantity to 0.0, just in case that causes confusion!
