Hi All
This is my first go at building my own recipe from scratch and not plagiarising and tinkering with an existing recipe.
I want to create something similar - but doesnt have to be an exact clone - of the Little Creatures Shepherds delight.
Grain bill is based on some reading on here about what people have tried and tested to get a nice red colour.
Hops are determined by whats in my freezer.
Info on the Sheperds Delight bottle says it was EBC 40 IBU 50 - so that is what I aimed for.
So here is what I have come up with.
Grumpy's Red Shepherd IPA
18 ltr batch
Grain bill
5.7kg Ale Malt
200gCaraaroma
60g Roasted Barley

Apollo 5 @20
Mosaic 5 @20

Expected OG: 1060
Expected FG: 1015
EBC 40.1
IBU 50
5.9% ABV (kegged)
