I was toying around yesterday with some equations and using mock recipes for the calculations. I figured I might give one of them a try; however, being a noob, I wanted to post it and get feedback. I have not decided what I want to do with the hops (nor have I done many calculations yet) so I only have the grain listed. Here she goes:
OG 1.052
FG 1.014 (+/-.003)
ABV 5.5%
IBU Have not dedcided (I might shoot for middle of the road at 30)
50% Pale Malt 6.29lbs
40% DME 2.93 lbs
10% Rye Malt 1.56 lbs
Total Grain/DME= 10.68
I am shooting for an APA that is a bit on the dry side. I was reading about the types of grain and noted that Rye lends a little dryness to it (also some spice). I like Rye whiskeys so I thought I would give it a whirl. With that said, I am unfamiliar with it and I am open to suggestions. I am looking for the hop profile of Sierra Nevada Torpedo and Schlafly Dry Hopped APA. I think the two taste similar; however, I like the dry finish of the Schlafly. I also think I might be biting off more than I can chew, and may adjust so the DME is the dominant ingredient, and cut the Pale Malt back a bit. What say you?
