Hi brewers,
I recently posted a question on another forum about a recipe that I've devised for a brew to make my brother (his birthday is coming up in a few months) and I thought I should get the advice of people here (tends to be more people that know what they're talking about here). My brother doesn't tend to like the bitterness of my brews but likes the hop flavours, so I've put together a recipe that would be less bitter whilst (hopefully) still being flavourful and I wanted to get people's advice on the malt bill and hop schedule.
The recipe is as follows:
1.5kg light LME
1.0kg light DME
0.4kg dextrose
0.3kg crystal (steeped)
10g Amarillo @ 30 mins (8.5% AA)
10g Centennial @ 25 mins (9.7% AA)
10g Cascade @ 20 mins (5%AA)
10g Centennial @ 15 mins (9.7% AA)
10g Cascade @ 10 mins (5% AA)
10g Centennial @ 5 mins (9.7% AA)
Either US05 or Nottingham yeast.
It should come out at around 27 IBU's.
I should note that I'm using things that I already have lying around (although I'm not averse to purchasing more stuff -- can never have too much hops or malt!) and I'm starting with the Amarillo as I've only got the 10g left and I'd like to use it up.
Any thoughts?
