I started doing some SMaSH's and was not a big fan of the just base malt, so to do some comparisons of hops i would like to use the same grain bill and then change the hops. I will cube all hops (no hops in boil, no chill).
In Beersmith I have added the hops in as a 20min boil to get an estimate of IBUs. I will add in enough hops to get to 30IBU.
I will also dry hop at a rate of 1g/L on day 7 of a 14 day ferment in primary.
I plan to do a 30L batch and split into two cubes with different hops in each cube. I will do one Cascade, centennial, Simcoe, and Nelson, (amarillo and citra already covered in another comparison)
Grain bill will look like this (I suppose its APAish):
73% Joe White Traditional Ale
10% Munich
10% Wheat Malt
5% Carapils
2% Acidulated Malt
I will keep the process simple:
60min mash @66oC,
Dunk Sparge at 75oC for 10min,
45min boil,
Irish Moss @10min
OG @ 1.050
US05
Gelatin in Keg
Thoughts? Crystal instead of Carapils? too much wheat? Other hops?
cheers
