Hey gang,
So, I finally grabbed a copy of Beersmith a couple of weeks ago & I'm thinking I want to try my hand and making something that isn't a recipe that I've found. I came up with this:
All Grain
5.5g, BIAB
7 lb Marris Otter
2.75 lb German Pilsner
1.25 Crystal 20L
12oz Flaked Oats
Mash at 152 for 90 minutes.
90' Boil
45' 1 oz Cascade
20' 2 oz Cascade
15' 1 oz Cascade
WLP001 (1.5L Starter)
Ferment at 64F
3oz Cascade Dryhop for 7 Days
Estimated:
6.4 SRM
5.5% ABV (65% Efficiency)
55 IBUs
I've got a bunch of Cascade, so that's why the abundance. I was looking for a light, aromatic pale ale with medium bitterness. I've got the pilsner in b/c I thought it'd be lighter (golden rather than amber) than going all Marris Otter. The Crystal 20L is for head retention/body (right?). & the oats are purely because I had a Ranger Creek OPA last week that I loved.
Thoughts? Will this be gross?
