Hi guys,
Just used Beersmith to attempt designing my own recipe. This will only be my 2nd AG (BIAB) brew so would probably be better off using someone elses recipe, but I want to try my own.
Here is what I've got:
Recipe Specifications
--------------------------
Boil Size: 31.19 l
Post Boil Volume: 25.82 l
Batch Size (fermenter): 21.00 l
Bottling Volume: 19.30 l
Estimated OG: 1.053 SG
Estimated Color: 19.2 EBC
Estimated IBU: 37.7 IBUs
Brewhouse Efficiency: 70.00 %
Est Mash Efficiency: 82.7 %
Boil Time: 60 Minutes
Ingredients:
------------
Amt Name Type # %/IBU
5.00 kg Pale Malt (2 Row) US (3.9 EBC) Grain 1 94.3 %
0.30 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (236.4 EBC) Grain 2 5.7 %
30.00 g Cascade [7.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 3 22.9 IBUs
20.00 g Cascade [7.00 %] - Boil 20.0 min Hop 4 9.2 IBUs
20.00 g Cascade [7.00 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 5 5.5 IBUs
Mash Schedule: BIAB, Medium Body
Total Grain Weight: 5.30 kg
----------------------------
Name Description Step Temperat Step Time
Saccharification Add 34.43 l of water at 70.7 C 66.7 C 75 min
Mash Out Add -0.00 l of water and heat to 78.0 C 78.0 C 10 min
What do you think? Not too sure about the hops, just guessing really. I only have Cascade so that's all I'm using at this stage. I want something fairly bitter, but not slap in the face bitter (not yet anyway ).
All of the sliders in Beersmith are bang in the middle for an APA so I assume that it should be ok, just after some feedback from more experienced brewers, which is almost everyone here.
Any constructive criticism welcome.
