Just sampling a brew I came up with...
13lb 2 row
2 lb maris otter
1 lb Carapils
1 oz 60 min El D
1 oz 30 min El D
2 oz whirlpool El D
2 oz dry hop
6 gallons there about-
1.069 OG
Currently 1.032 on the refracto (so 1.01 or 1.004 range)
Safale 05 yeast
My El D's were something like 16 alpha acid- higher than typical I think
This beer tastes extremely sweet. I am getting a lot of the candy flavor that is used to describe El Dorado's. Looks like I should be close to terminal gravity so I don't think I have sugars left..? Nice bitterness from the hops, just very sweet.
Any thoughts? Experience with El Dorado's? Any recipe critiques?
Cheers!
