Imperial Red Ale

[Hopeye]

Hey Guys,

Can anyone tell me if this recipe sounds alright for an Imperial Red Ale ???

Infusion Mash @ 86 degrees for 90 minutes in 3 litres
600g Caramunich Malt
100g Dark Crystal Malt
200g Wheat Malt
150g Munich Malt
150g Flaked Barley

7kg LME

60 min boil: 100g Cascade Hop cones, 80g Hallertau Hop cones
30 min boil: 80g Hallertau Hop cones
10 min boil: 10g Hallertau Hop cones.

Topped up with water to 23 litres

OG - 1080


If the recipe sounds alright, could someone run it through Pro-Mash so I can see what IBU's this will give me ???


Cheers,
David

Ummm... do you mean 68 degrees?

 

[Hopeye]

Slip of the fingers there GL... Yea. 68 degrees.

Using 5.75% AA Cascade and 4% AA Hallertau you get 110 IBU. Also using the ingredients listed you get an OG of 1.100.

Beers,
Doc

Come on winter. Brewing this extract monster next weekend. Kinda borrowed some ideas from the Northern Brewer 'Jump the Shark' recipe but with a few tweets. Big hop and malt, perfect for a cold Melbourne winter. Bugger all info about this beer on the interweb, but could be the next big thing!?

Edit: cannot figure how to get info copied from BeerSmith to the blog: PDF attached (kind poor quality)
