I never knew much the last time I brewed - 18+ yrs ago, so I'm way behind the 8 ball and have nobody to ask...
I'm not up on hops flavors/bittering and aroma, so I'm going to try a "taste test" brew.
What I am doing is brewing up an APA - loosely based on an IPA. I'm going to use the following recipe, boil it, pitch the yeast, separate it into 5 - 1 gallon fermenters and add hops to each one before hooking them to the overflow tubes.... I was thinking about 7-10 days of primary then another 10-14 in secondary and then start tasting. That should give me what I'm looking for correct???
1# Crystal malt 20 (.82#) I'm not sure I can get that close so I'm rounding up to 1#.
1# English 2 row pale (.79#)
6.5# Liguid Light Extract
White Labs CA Ale yeast.
Now, the recipe calls for 2 oz Cascade at 60 min. I'm wondering if I should put it in for a base level "control" and the other 4 gallon jugs as the tests? Or just do all 5 the same way? I'm inclined to do all 5 the same.
I am planning on using Cascade, Mt. Hood, Chinook, Sterling and something else. The reason I chose those first 4 is that I am growing them as of this year...... What would you guys recommend for the fifth one?
Amy I way off on this? Any changes?
Thanks
Greg
