Hey guys this is my first post on the forum. Since being out of school, I've decided to take on my first recipe as well with the help of Ray Daniels' book. My beekeeper of a friend is loading me up with honey so I felt that I needed to try some thing like this out. I haven't quite bought the materials necessary but was looking for someone's advice for some ideas. Let me know what you think!
Est. OG: 1.070
Est. IBU: 55.5
Brew Size: 5.5 gal
Brew Efficiency: 65%
Fermentables:
4.25 lb Golden Light LME
2.5 lb Vienna Malt
1.5 lb Honey Malt
1.0 lb Crystal 40L
1.25 lb Honey
Hops:
0.5 oz Columbus 60 min
1.0 oz Cascade 30 min
1.0 oz Cascade 10 min
1.0 oz Tettnang 5 min
1.0 oz Citra Dry for 7 days
WLP004 for fermentation
Also Daniels doesn't go into depth about how to estimate the FG if someone would be willing to help me out on that front. I know that WLP004 has a medium ranking for alcohol tolerance, but how do I know when its time to bottle where the yeast won't die out, but the bottle won't burst either. Thanks again!
