first recipe feedback please

Post by spannerhands » Mon May 07, 2012 9:12 pm

Hi Guys

After quite a few BYOBRA recipes, I'm planning my own first recipe for the weekend. Aiming for a fairly fruity / estery ESB style. I've put the following into beer engine:

4.5kg Pale malt
500g lager malt (using leftovers up :oops: )
300g torrefied wheat
300g crystal malt

20g challenger @ 90 mins
20g styrian goldings @ 90 mins
20g fuggles @ 10 mins
20g styrian goldings @ 10 mins

Windsor yeast
23 litres

Beer engine says 1054 OG, 32 EBU, 21 EBC, 5.4% ABV (although I guess windsor may give me a bit less than this)

thanks in advance for any feedback

Grist looks fine, but I would be tempted to drop the 90 addition of SG's and drop them in @ 1 min or steep, will give you a nicer citrus/lemony taste and more aroma. If you want the same IBU's then up the Challenger (if you have spares).
