Hello,
Santa was very good to me this year, and I've been given a pile of good hops, and a copy of Beersmith 2. So I've made an attempt at my first custom recipe, and thought I'd ask if there are any tweaks that might make it better on paper before I brew it.
The recipe is a somewhat hoppy saison:
3 Gallon Steep:
1.5 lbs Amber Malt
1 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt
Boil:
4 lbs Amber Liquid Extract
2 lbs Wheat Liquid Extract
1 oz Galaxy Hops for 60 mins
1 oz Citra Hops for 45 mins
1 oz Amarillo Hops for 15 mins
Fermentation:
Add water to 5 gallons
White Labs Saison Yeast
Possibly 1lb honey
I'm contemplating dry hopping with Simcoe as well, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
James
