Lemon Amber

[beerguzzler]

I'm very new at brewing, bottled my first extract yesterday. I stumbled on a few ingredients (friend is leaving the country) and want to experiment with a recipe I slapped together on beersmith, something for the summer.

For a 23liter BIAB batch

3.9kg Vienna Malt (6.9 EBC)
1.16kg Caramunich Malt (96 EBC)
0.55kg CaraBelge (30 EBC)
0.75kg Light liguid Extract


15g Sorachi Ace (12%) 60min
10g Sorachi Ace (12%) 20min
10g Motueka (7%) 20 min
10g Sorachi Ace (12%) 10min
10g Glasier (5.6%) 10min
irish moss 10min
Dry Hop with Mortueka (7%)

German Ale/ Kölsch Yeast

SG = 1.060
IBU = 35
EBC = 27.6
ABV = 6.1%

As is said i have almost no experience in beer brewing and these numbers was created on beersmith and the only thing i know about the ingredients is what i have read in the last week.
Would this work?

That's a lot of caramunich. You might want to pull it back to under 10%, it will be very sweet.

You will certainly get a lot of lemon from motueka and sorachi ace.

Yeah thanks for pointing it out, didnt see recommended %.
I can bring it down to 9% and make vienna 70% & carabelge 11%. Wondering if its too lemonish?

Couldn't tell you if it will be too lemony, but can say..make it, drink it, adjust it next time.

I'll maybe switch the glasier @ 10min with the mortueka and dry hop with the glasier. Brew day is 3weeks away, so i have some time to read/learn more. Got my 15m 3/6 copper tubing today as well as a 50liter catering urn.
