Finally decided to make a hoppy beer. I'm fairly new at making recipes up and after some snooping around online, I came up with the recipe below based on what I have available at home. Any advice, corrections, warnings and mockery will be gratefully received.
This is the first brew I'll make that's over 1.058 OG, and I've never dry hopped before. I will be doing this BIAB.
4.75 Kg 2Row 76.6%
1 Kg Munich 16.1%
.45 Kg Amber 7.3 %
40 gr. Simcoe (11%) 60 minute
30 gr. Amarillo (7.8%) 20 minute
30 gr. Amarillo (7.8 %) Flameout
1 pack US-05 (should I shell out for another?)
30 gr. Amarillo dry hopped 4 days.
(all the hops are pellets)
I have a variety of other hops I could throw in but I'd lie to keep it fairly simple. I like citrusy hop flavours but I'm not too big on a lot of pine (a bit is good, though).
Beer Smith says my 20 litre batch should get to 1.068 OG @ 72% Efficiency and have 68.3 IBU.
Does anything look out of line here? Anything un-IPAish?
Not sure for the mash temperature. Somehow 66* C (151* F) came to mind but I hardly have the experience to know if this is advisable.
I don't use a secondary but is one advisable for dry hopping?
Thanks for any advice or help!
