For my 4 boil I made a West Coast IPA, mid 60 IBU (brew toad had it at 83, brewers friend had it at 50)
Picked up a Brewers best kid, my first time making a Brewers best.
Recipe is as follows:
6.6# light LME
1# corn sugar
8 oz Carmel 80L (steep)
8 oz victory (steep)
4 oz carpils (steep)
1 oz Columbus (60 mins)
1 oz citra (15)
1 oz Amarillo (10)
1 oz Amarillo (5)
1.5 oz cascade (dry hop)
Dan star American west coast yeast
.
I ended up steeping form 30 min at 160f
It became more of a mash.
The grains gave the wort a great resist color, before the hops turned it all green.
Sg was 1.058, so the ABV should be between 5.5% & 6%
The wort had no distinct smell, but SWMBO complained it smelled like cat pee.
This time around I am using a cooler with a heat pad to keep the bucket warm. This way I don't have to leave the bucket in my family room, where it will smell up the place.
