Hello everyone! It's been a while but I've got the bug in me to get brewing again. I've made many batches of Graff using Brandon O's recipe and it has all turned out great.
I'm thinking of making a batch with a twist for a vacation this coming July. Imperial Summer Graff!!!! I'd appreciate some advice and let me know if I'm crazy.
Safale-05 hops
5 gallons of apple juice
1lb Crystal 120L
2oz Torrified Wheat
3lbs DME. 1lb Amber, 2lb light
0.5oz of Cascade Hops
2-3oz of Fresh Orange and Lemon Zest
The intention is to beef up the ABV a little bit and five it some citrus hints. Something like an offspring of a Summer Ale and a traditional Graff. Shooting for 9-10% ABV.
What do you think? Too much, not enough, just right?
