    Meaty Pilsner Recipe - might it suck?

    UPDATE: I'm doing a 3 gallon batch. ABV was just too low, and I only have 4 lbs of 2-row, and I really want to do a creative beer that comes in close to 5% ABV. Based on the Pils extract, 2-row with a pinch of c-60, and WLP005 yeast: 1 oz cascade, 2 oz usa hallertau and 1 oz tettnanger, how...

    Meaty Pilsner Recipe - might it suck?

    Steeping the grains for an hour. Might go with 5 lbs and 1 of the c-60. I'm really wondering about the yeast. It's the WLP version of Denny's Fave, so it's maltier, creamier, hence the cascade. I had thought the yeast would overpower the ligher hops, so i'm taking on the cascade to counter that.

    Please troubleshoot my new IPA Recipe

    The goal is a Dank Session IPA somewhere at or under 5% ABV. I want more body than a pale, but not creamy. The grains are already purchased. Questions: Which DME? Amber or lighter? Would you re-order or change any hops? I really want this beer to be a happy punch in the face...

    Such high hopes!

    Hey, thank you all - I steeped the grains at 157 for 30 minutes, vigorously stirring and punching the bag with a vented spoon. I'm thinking of doing an IPA using Columbus, Chinook and Apollo. I'm still a training wheels guy though (extract) - I do have grains to steep. In general, are my...
