Hey guys. Long time reader, first time poster. I've been homebrewing for a while and recently made the switch to all grain. I want to make a high abv Imperial IPA to make it through the chilling autumn and could use some advice. Using Beersmith, this is the recipe I have devised. I have a 5 gallon mash tun, hence the small batch of a big beer.
Grain:
6 lbs. Pale Malt (2 Row)
5 lbs. Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L
2 lbs. Amber Dry Extract, just to raise the ABV
Hops:
1 oz. Chinook at Mash
1 oz. Citra at 60 min. boil
1 oz. Centennial at 30 min. boil
1 oz. Galaxy at 5 min. boil
1 oz Galaxy to dry hop during primary fermentation
Other:
1 Package White Labs American Ale Yeast
Irish Moss at 10 min. boil
End of Boil Volume: 4.17 gal
Final Bottling Volume: 3.28 gal
Est. OG: 1.097 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.018 SG
Est ABV: 10.6%
Bitterness: 91.2 IBU's
I appreciate any advice. I'm very new to this so please tell me anything you think would be helpful, and don't hold back. Thanks for reading
