I wasnt sure whether I should post this here or in the beginners forum; They are probably getting sick of all my questions over there so here I am.....
I took the advice of some of the folks on the beginners board and abandoned my scatter-shot approach to learning in favor of developing and refining my own base recipe that I could experiment with down the road.... ultimately leading to a better understanding of cause-effect of brewing decisions.
For my Base Ale v1 I wanted a simple hoppy pale ale (not quite and IPA) that was lighter in color than I had been able to make using 100% extracts. Im still working with my original brew set up so I am limited to partial boils. I brewed this Saturday, fully expecting to make some tweaks before brewing it again..... I welcome your suggestions
BIAB (165 strike/153 mash/60m..... 60% yield after dealing with some sparge overflow issues)
3.5# rahr 2 row
.5# crystal 20
Increased the total volume to 3.5g
Started boil.....and added 1lb Golden Light DME
40min added 3# Golden Light DME
60min total boil
Hops
1oz Chinook (13.3) -60min
.5oz Chinook - 15min
.5oz Chinook - flame out
Ice bath + cold water addition (5g total volume)
1pk SafAle US05
OG 1.052
Thanks for the feedback....
