I just kegged 10 gallons of English IPA yesterday- so I have 2 empty fermenters!
I want something relatively lower alcohol, light but not bland, not sweet but not too dry, not too bitter, but with lots of hops flavor.
I have plenty of simcoe and amarillo, but I'm getting low on centennial. I have lots of different yeast strains available. I'm also happy to try to use up small amounts of Munich and Vienna, so here's what I've come up with:
10.5 gallons
OG 1.051
IBUs 36
12 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 61.5 %
2 lbs Munich I (Weyermann) (7.1 SRM) Grain 10.3 %
2 lbs Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 10.3 %
1 lbs 8.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 7.7 %
1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 5.1 %
1 lbs Wheat - White Malt (2.3 SRM) Grain 5.1 %
1.00 oz Magnum [11.60 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 20.0 IBUs
2.00 oz Amarillo [9.50 %] - Boil 15.0 min Hop 14.8 IBUs
2.00 oz Amarillo [9.50 %] - Boil 1.0 min Hop 1.3 IBUs
American Ale II (Wyeast Labs #1272) for one fermenter
Denny's Favorite 50 (Wyeast #1450) (Slurry) for the other fermenter
1.00 oz Centennial - Dry Hop 5-7 Days
1.00 oz Simcoe Dry Hop 5-7.0 Days
It's sunny today, and it makes me think of summer pale ales on the boat. I don't have any "oddball" hops around like moteuka or summit, just the typical c-hops and some willamette, besides the ones I listed, although I do have 2 ounces of Falconer's Flight.
I wonder if Falconer's Flight would give me what I'm looking for.
