Recipe Advice Thread

[denimglen]

Thought it might be handy to have a thread for some of the more advanced brewers to give some advice on recipes.

Let's see how it goes eh...

Yeah - I only have 4 kg of Munich... I have some family coming down this weekend - I'll ask them first.

[Reviled]

4kg is enough bro, just make it a quaffer!

[JoKing]

C'mon bro - Winter is coming! I'll make a quaffer... a 6% one!

You are right I could go 4kg Munich and 1 kg Pils.

Quaffer??????????? whats that????? I got one its called an Imperial pils at 8%.

[Reviled]

Eagerly awaiting my near $100 US hop order and throwing stupid recipes around, and then I came up with this, thoughts from Mike and Jo please ;oP

I get OG 1060 IBU's 71 (but prolly more due to no chilling - considering dropping the 60 min addition cos of this?)

4.5kg Pils
1kg Munich
100g Cara-Munich III
60 : 10g Southern Cross 13.2%
15 : 15g each of (this is where it gets silly) Simcoe, Centennial, Chinook, Columbus, Amarillo, and Cascade
FO : 10g of each of the above
Dry : 15g of each of the above for 10 days
WLP001 or S-05

I figure this will leave me with 50g of each variety to play with on different brews, but is this over the top??

[JoKing]

It looks pretty good for a hoppy Pale Ale. If your mashing at 66 degrees, I'd consider upping the CaraMunich to around 250grams... it's easier than mashing at 68 degrees.

Try to keep it around 1.012 (I think that Monster was a bit too dry) and up the IBU to 80... should be quite the quaffer.

Oh yeah..... try to bath chill it too.

[Reviled]

You dont reckon 250g would be too malty?

[JoKing]

You'd hardly notice it against the hops... 500g would be balanced.

[Reviled]

Fuck balanced, I want a teeth scraper ;o)

[Mike Neilson]

Yeah Fuckin Ha!!!!!!!!! Go with more Cara it will ride those hops out!!!! think of riding a horse bare back it hurts your nuts but its still fun!! stick a saddle on it and it will be more enjoyable!!!!!!!
