Recipe critique

[rtracer]

So I want to step out of my normal IPA and try to make a nice sunset orange colored IPA.

Here is what I have come up with for a 6.5 gallon batch. This guarantees me a full 5 gallon keg, plus maybe a couple bombers if I'm lucky.

I can't figure out how to have input separate whirlpool additions for Flame out and second addition at 175, but that is why each whirlpool addition is on twice. One of ech at knockout, another at 175*

You are hitting about 8SRM, wouldn't you need about 10SRM to hit orange (like a light amber ale)? I personally would adjust with carafa or black patent to keep the flavour impact at a minimum.

I don't know, figured mid 7 would hopefully give me a light orangey tone

 

[JKaranka]

You could run some tests with sinamar / brewers caramel and a couple of pints of water to check target SRM
