I had a hankering to do a brew last night and with no grain on hand I looked around to see what I had.
This is what I used from that:
1.7 KG Cascade Imperial Voyage Pale Ale
1.5 KG Black Rock Dark Malt (should have used less maybee but had no use for any leftovers)
300gm Corn Syrup
50gm Armarillo Hops.
4kg Dex (only used 300gms).
Normally I would follow a recipe of a proven brew yada yada but I thought I would just see what would happen if I threw the following together:
Added 1.7 kg Cascade Imperial Voyage Pale Ale, 1.5kg Black Rock Dark Malt and 10ltr water to pot.
60 minute boil.
25gm Armarillo Hops @ 60 mins.
25gm Armarillo Hops @ 30 mins.
Crash chilled, added to fermentor, added 300g dex and cold water to achieve 20L
Gravity before adding yeast - 1050.
Added US-05 Yeast.
Currently fermenting at 22 degs celcius.
I have 100gm Simcoe, 90gm Riwaka, 30gm Saaz and 25gm Cascade hops available and was thinking about throwing in some dry hops late in fermentation.
Any thoughts on what the outcome of this would be?
Would you dry hop?
