Leftover Hops Recipe

Post by richc » Sun Dec 26, 2010 10:58 pm

I've got a few partial bags of hops in the freezer that need using up and came up with this partial mash recipe. It's designed to be a nice refreshing APA.

Thoughts please....


55% 1.800 Light Dry Malt Extract
31% 1.000 Maris Otter Two Row
6% 0.200 Munich Malt
6% 0.200 Crystal Malt
2% 0.050 Wheat Malt


hops
USE TIME GRAMS VARIETY FORM AA
boil 60 mins 25 Aurora leaf 7.0
boil 20 mins 25 Cascade leaf 5.5
boil 20 mins 20 Amarillo leaf 7.0
boil 20 mins 20 Aurora leaf 7.0
boil 1 min 25 Cascade leaf 5.5
boil 1 min 10 Aurora leaf 7.0
dry hop 7 days 30 Amarillo leaf 7.0

I'm coming from the opposite direction, doing extract brews has concentrated my changes in the hops and I'm just trying to work out the grain thing properly ;-)

As you haven't given any weights of grist or volumes of brew then it's hard to say if your hops are right!

Sounds like a nice refreshing citrusy ale though Rich! Amarillo and cascade are a great combination! :beer: I personally wouldn't use amarillo late in a brew though as it's too intense for my tastes. I'd go late with cascade and save the amarillo for bittering (mine is 9.4% AA)! But that's just MO! Haven't used Aurora so can't comment!

Sometimes leftover brews turn out to be your best beers! Let us know how it turns out!

What yeast are you using?

Wyeast 1056, American Ale feels right for the recipe...
