Hi all, I/m very new to the forum and kind of new to brewing. I've been extract brewing for some time. I've recently started playing with Beersmith and am looking to create my first brew. This is what I've come up with. Any guesses on the outcome and advice from those who know more than I is welcomed. I'm looking for a target IBU of 53, decent hop flavor without being overpoweringly bitter. Here goes:
5 gallon batch/full boil
Steep 30 min @ 150* : 1# munich
.5# Carastan
.5# Crystal 75
7# light DME
1oz Chinook (11.8%) @ 60
.5oz Summit (15.5%) @ 12
.5oz Willamette (4%) @ 10
1oz Summit @ 0
1oz Willamette @ 0
Yeast: US-05 dry
Dry Hop 5 days: .5oz Summit
.5oz Willamette
Est OG: 1.063 (not sure how to account for steeped grains)
IBU: 53
Est FG: 1.014
ABV: 6.4%
On a side note, I took my grain and hop selections from a few commercial craft brews I like.
