weggl Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Am thinking of doing an all malt 1.5 LLME-1LDME some DEX and hopping it with Cascade and Amarillo hops. Watdoyareckon? Weggl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Sounds good to me! Both hops are nice and work well together. Infact I put one down one the winter solstice with some Nelson Sauvin, Cascade and Amarillo. I just started sampling this one lately and it is quite nice. It's got a nice, complex hop profile.

Hairy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I reckon it could be great. I love cascade & amarillo [love] Its hard to say without a hop schedule though. Some light crystal would be nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Was thinking along these lines. Do ya reckon it would be too bitter"Will accept all the advice I can get.[crying] 1KG DME - 1.5Kg LLME AMARILLO 35g 30 MIN AMARILLO 20g 10 MIN CASCADE 20g 30 MIN .3KG DEX-- US-05 YEAST 23L IBU 46.6 or I have a 1kg of liquid wheat malt, wonder how that would go in place of the LDME?

Hairy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Do ya reckon it would be too bitter What may be 'too bitter' for some may not be 'too bitter' for others. For me, a beer of 46 IBU with a lightish body and ABV of around 4.5% would be too bitter. But I am not a big fan of overly bitter beers. Others may think it is great. What are you trying to achieve with this beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weggl, excuse this stupid question and anyone else could help by clarifying because I like following these threads. When a recipe is mentioned and hops are added eg. Amarillo 35g 30min, is this 30min at the boil or steeped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Amarillo 35g @ 30 mins refers to boiling the hops for 30 minutes. If you are steeping then you would specifically refer to it as being steeped or a hop tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Looks the goods' date='but I would remove the Dex and add 500gms of the wheat malt?[/quote'] I would go with this too. It would give it a bit more body and soften the bitterness a little. It would be more balanced. I reckon that would be a nice drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 For my opinion (FWIW) Id be trying to get the IBU's at 40 mins (I do this often) and then be banging in more quite late, as in 10mins, 5 mins and 0 mins... I like having a fair go at, say 15g(+) of each hop @ 0min... banging flavour and aroma.. This of course will probably not suit the amounts you have given. in general I like to get to my IBU's at 40 or 60 min (need to use less) so I can use more hops late... but I do like a fair whack of flavour and aroma and can quite often be found doing 5 min additions from 20 min down with a whole bunch @ 0 min.. and lets not forget dry hopping which Im up to about 2g p/l[love] I just did another hop order last night.. 90g Citra 180g Galaxy 90g Amarillo 180g Wai iti I think this will last me 1 month [lol] 100+kg of grain on order soon too now I have storage sorted[w00t] Yob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks fellas, have taken advice from yuall , have cut the IBU to 39 Switched the DME TO WheatLME. Increased the flavour by adding shorter boils. So what do ya reckon about this.? 1KG WLME - 1.5Kg LLME AMARILLO 25g-40 MIN AMARILLO 10g 10 MIN AMARILLO 10g F/OUT CASCADE 10g 30 MIN CASCADE 10g 10 MIN .3KG DEX-- US-05 YEAST 23L IBU 39 AH%4.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 That looks good to me. I wouldn't think twice about making and drinking that one. Let us know how it turns out. Will this be called Whipper Snipper MkIV? [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Yeah that looks pretty good. Although personally I would probably drop the 30min Cascade to 15min. But that would suit me. Try what you have written as it looks like it will be a nice drop. OT sorry to the OP - Hey Yob, I just vac sealed over 4kg hops and still have 2Kg to do. It took nearly 3 hours and all in nice little 50g bags [cool] Have you got your sealer yet?... you won't be looking back when you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Will split you on it Bill will go for 20 min, don't want it too sweet with the wheat malt? I know the Cascade can get a bit inyerface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Starting to look the goods of a nice xtract.. mmmmmm hops, No sealer yet, no particular hurry as I won't get enough hops off the plant this year and have a metrical shet load in the freezer to use up in due course[roll] and next purchases are going to be A: 100kg grain B: Refractometer c: build stir plate so I can start to do slants [w00t] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
