So, tomorrow I will be doing my first brew! Pretty excited to give this all a try. I have helped a friend do a few AG brews but I will be doing an extract brew based on the ZD Clone recipe posted by SkeezerPleezer seen here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/three-floyds-zombie-dust-clone-303478/
Here is my recipe and process...I would love your thoughts, critique to anything I post below. Thanks!!
OG - 1.056
FG - 1.015
Color - 11 SRM
ABV - 5.5%
IBU - 92(seems a little high...)
Grain Bill
7.5lbs - Pale LME
1.00lb - Munich Malt 10L
.5lb - carafoam
.5lb - cara/crystal 60L
.5lb - Melanoiden Malt
Hop Bill
.75oz Citra - 60min
1.00oz Citra - 15min
1.00oz Citra - 10min
1.00oz Citra - 5min
1.00oz Citra - 1min
3.00oz Citra - 7-day Dry Hop
Misc
1 whirlfloc tablet - 15min
.5tsp yeast nutrient - 15min
Yeast
SafAle - S-04
Here is how I plan on doing this thing...feel free to add input! I have a 10gal kettle so I was hoping to do a full boil.
Steep grains in bag for 30min at 155deg in 5gal water
Sparge with 170deg - 1.5gal water
Bring to full boil
60min
Remove from heat - add 2.5lb - LME
Return to boil - add first citra addition
Other hop additions along the way
15min
Add whirlfloc and yeast nutrient
10min
add remaining 5lb LME
flame out
I bought the coiled chiller from NB
Cool to 100deg or less
Pour wort into the 6.5gal carboy(all pre-sanitized of course)
add any additional water to make the 5gal mark from boil-off(should I do this??)
Aerate a bit
Add yeast once temp is near 75 or below
Seal and lock.(add water to lock)
Let sit for 7+ days in cool basement until FG reached.
Then either siphon to secondary or just leave and dry hop for 7more days.
I think I can handle the rest from here...
Thoughts?? Things I forgot or should change?
Thanks!!!!
