Hi all, I'm new to Beersmith and a relatively new BIAB brewer. I'm wanting to make something really light and drinkable, as an alternative to the hop-heavy APA I currently have conditioning. I started with a Kolsch style, but due to budget constraints (liquid yeasts are hugely expensive in NZ!) I'll probably be using US-05.
The recipe I've come up with has the following (sorry about the metric!)
4.2KG Pilsner malt 89.4%
0.5KG Munich malt 10.6%
Single hop addition of 35gm Motueka (6.6%AA) as first wort hop for total of 27 IBU.
Yeast: US-05
Est Original Gravity: 1.046 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.010 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 4.7 %
Bitterness: 27.0 IBUs
Est Color: 7.3 EBC
Fairly low temp single step mash as I want it quite dry.
Does this sound like it'll be tasty? I'm just concerned it'll come out very 'thin' and would appreciate any feedback.
Cheers.
