So here's my situation...
The club I belong to is having a brew day at a local brewpub. The brewpub is providing us with their "base pale wort." I think it's made with just 2-row, but I don't have any idea what kind of gravity it has.
I have on hand 0.5# of Crystal 60, 1oz of Willamette [4.6%]pellets, and 2oz of Ammarillo [9.9%] plugs. I also have WLP005 British Ale Yeast.
Given all of this I was thinking of making something like Diamond Bear Brewery's Presidential IPA, though with a little less bitterness, but trying to keep lots of hop aromas and a nice coppery color.
Looking at other recipes here I've come up with this for a 5.5 gallon batch. I took some liberties with the 2 row amount since I don't really know.
13.0 lbs Pale Malt (2-row)
0.5 lbs Crystal 60L
0.5oz Amarillo 60 min
0.5oz Amarillo 45 min
0.5oz Amarillo 30 min
0.5oz Amarillo 15 min
0.5oz Willamette 10 min
0.5oz Willamette 0 min
Anticipated OG: 1.067
Anticipated FG: 1.015
Anticipated IBU: 50
ABV: 6.5%
I'm looking for any suggestions you might have. There are still a couple days until the Big Brew Day so I have time to get any additions from the LHBS.
Cheers
Terje
