Here's my recipe that I'm using today, does it look good?
This is my 5th batch, 4th custom batch...AG here I come!!
5 gallon Extract with steeping grains
10# LME
1# Belgian Candi syrup (40 srm)
3 oz maltodextrin
irish moss @ 10
Steeping grains:
.50 honey malt
.25 carapils
.25 crystal 20L
Hops:
1.5 oz Chinnok @60
1 oz centinenal @30
1 oz citra @15
1 oz amarillo @15
1 oz cascade @15
1 oz amarillo @5
1 oz Centennial @5
1 oz Citra @ flameout
1 oz amarillo @ flameout
1 oz cascade @ flameout
2 oz Centennial dry hop
1 oz Citra dry hop
1 oz Amarillo dry hop
2 vials of WLP 001 with a starter
My question is I have never used the Belgian candi syrup and my LBS suggested I use that instead of dextrose to kick up the abv. Will the color change my brew alot with 40srm?
If I use it would it be a IIPA still or am I leaning towards a Trippel?
Anything you would change?
Hop schedule looks good?
I got a ton of hops also, so should I use more hops?(I am from San Diego, so I am a hophead :rockin
This forum is awesome by the way!
cheers
