I turned 30 on May 4th and a bunch of stuff happened...
1.) My brother in law bought me a grain mill - this prompted me to buy a sack of 2-Row from my LHBS
2.) Around this time, I set up an informal brew school, taught a bunch of people to brew last weekend and next weekend I'll be teaching another group how to brew - this prompted me to buy some bulk hops.
3.) There is more but I don't want you to fight through a wall of text to tweak my recipe, so here it goes.
Recipe Name: SMaSHing 2-Row Blonde Cascade
Recipe Type: All Grain
Mash Temp: 153deg F
Boil Volume: 4.5 gal
Est. Top Up Vol.: 2.4 gal
Boil Time: 60 mins
Final Vol.: 6 gallons
Est. Efficiency: 75% (what I get with store crushed doing all grain)
Fermentables:
11.5 lbs of 2-Row
Hops:
60 min - 1.0 oz Cascade - 5.6%AA
30 min - 1.0 oz Cascade - 5.6%AA
14 day - 1.0 oz Cascade - 5.6% AA (Dry Hop)
Yeast: Safale US-05
Adjuncts:
15 min - 1 Tbl - Irish Moss
Est. OG: 1.055
Est. FG: 1.016
Est. ABV: 5.0%
Est. IBU: 25
Est. SRM: 2 L
It doesn't exactly fit into the Blonde category (color and FG) but that is the closest classification, also I don't really care, Just want to make a decent summer SMaSH beer; so any comments would be appreciated.
I have Cascade and Magnum on hand, went with the Cascade because of the lower AA's (my Magnum are 15.2%) and the fact that Cascades are more of an "all around" hop where the Magnum are primarily bittering. Only have American 2-Row on hand in bulk, so that's what I want to use. US-05 is pretty neutral, and I have it on hand, I also have danstar nottingham, but I'm not a big fan of it, hence the US-05 choice.
