Recipe schedule for my ingredients.

[ranks76]

So I have listed below these ingredients. Would like to know what I should do with these.

Black Rock wheat and light LME. 1.7kg each.
500gm malt band dried light.
1kg pale ale malted barley.
80g cascade
80g centennial
25g challenger
US-05 yeast

Looking for recipe schedule advice for these. Was given as a present. Usually brew ipa's. This will be going into a 19lt keg for australia day.

So are you planning a big IPA?

Generally (I'm no expert on extract-based beer), I would use about 3kg of malt extract in a 20 litre batch.

if I'm reading that correctly, you have:
1.7kg Wheat malt extract
1.7kg light malt extract
0.5kg dried malt extract
and 1kg of malt - is it crushed already?

But all that malt would make a strong 19 litre batch, roughly about 6.2% AbV (according to Beersmith)
Also that's a huge lot of hops, Centennial hops are generally high in alpha acid too, so one wouldn't use so many.

Using all these ingredients would make a strong and hoppy 19 litre batch.
Sure you could add most of the hops late in the boil, thus temepring the bitterness.

What sort of beer would you like ?

What equipment are you brewing with?

You're looking at a partial mash with your 1Kg of pale malt grain. As Mr Wibble asked - is it crushed already?

Hoppy pale ale, unless you drop the volume you'd probably want a bit of a higher OG for an IPA but I reckon this would be OK with the wheat malt.

Dunno how you could get 6.2% out of this, even when I set the efficiency to 100% and fixed the US-05 to attenuate at the more accurate 81% I hit 5.6% (I used 70%).

While centennial's fairly high in the AA I like it as a bittering hop and it goes well late too,

What I slapped together, assuming AA%s and that you are using US cascade not NZ.

I've actually returned the grain and picked up some crystal grain instead. Was not planning to use all the hops on this brew.
Planning to steep 500g of crystal.
The centennial will be used mainly as bittering hop. Might take the dme up to 1kg.

Cheers for the replies.
