Being new to brewing I've found the information here very useful and has help me avoid many problems. Thanks to all! I'm three batches into this new hobby using recipes found the web or from my LHBS. My third batch was brewed the other day and I now have some left-over ingredients. I found some recipe calculators online recently and used them to make a recipe that would use my leftovers and came up with the following.
This is for a 5gal batch
Steep grains in 2.5 gal of water for about 25 minutes @160, bring water to boil add remaining ingredients as scheduled.
Fermentable
7Lbs Amber LME
3Lbs Amber DME
8Oz Crystal Malt 80L
8Oz Crystal Malt 40L
8Oz Cara-Pils
Hops
1.5 Oz Chinook (60 min)
1/2 Oz Perle (60 min)
1 Oz Cascade (20 Min)
1 Oz Cascade (2 Min)
Yeast
British Ale 1098
Hopville shows the recipe with a OG of 1.081....FG 1.021 the IBU at 41 and the ABV 8%.
I'm hoping for a medium to full bodied balanced or slightly hoppy ale with the aroma and taste of grapefruit. I don't want to waste the hops and malt I have so I'm hoping someone with some experience would let me know if I'm on the right track.
