Hi,
First time user of Brewer's Friend, and newish AG brewer.
I'm wanting to try a clone of Sierra Nevada's Old Chico Crystal Wheat. I've plugged in the known ingredients into the recipe builder, and played around until I got the style and IBU close. From the SN website, they show:
65% Wheat, 35% Pale 2-row
Hops: Perle (bittering) & Crystal (finishing)
Ale Yeast
4.8% ABV, OG 12 plato, FG 2.7 plato
So I came up with the below. I only put in a few hops to get the IBU in line with the style, whereas SN have an IBU of 26 (so I can up this if I want, and may do, but don't want an overly hoppy beer).
I had to add DME to get the ABV up as originally I only got around 3%.
Any thoughts or tips on the recipe before I give it a go?
