I recently bought 4 oz each of horizon, ahtanum, meridian, and pacific gem. My original idea was to make two ipas, one featuring horizon and ahtanum, and the other pacific gem and meridian. Ive been tinkering/re-thinking this idea though, and after going to a recent beer tasting I decided to change one of my recipes to a blonde ale... a hop-bursted blonde ale. Can anyone look over this recipe and make sure im not crazy? Also, i am open to changing the hops, both the types and the amounts. This originally was going to be the pacific gem/meridian ipa, but if any other hops would go well, I am open for changes. I also have a couple oz's of bravo and c-type in my freezer. With this in mind, my recipe:
OG: ~1.049 FG: ~1.012 IBUs: ~26
Grains:
10 lbs pale ale malt 80%
1 lb carapils 8%
1 lb vienna 8%
8 oz crystal 20 4%
Hops:
1/2 oz pacific gem @12, 10, 7, & 5 mins.
1/2 oz Meridian @ 2 mins.
1.5 oz Meridian & 1 oz pacific gem F.O/aroma steep
2 oz meridian & 1 oz pacific gem Dryhop 5-7 days
Was planning on splitting this into two half-batches, fermenting one with us-05 and the other with dennys fav 50. Any thoughts?
