Putting a recipe together for a brewday Friday. I like my APA with bags of hop flavour and aroma, citrussy and bitter but with enough interesting malt to make it more 3 dimensional. Here goes:
23L
OG: 1050
FG: 1010 to 1013
Eff: 69%
IBU: 42
Colour: 7.5 SRM
4.2 kg Maris Otter
340g Biscuit Malt
340g Munich Malt
227g Wheat Malt
WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast
Now, the hop schedule is what I'm having trouble with. I've hop burst 2 beers so far and really liked the flavour and aroma it produces, but not sure whether I really "need" 200g of hops to achieve what I'm trying to achieve. This is what I have at the moment:
15g Amarillo, 20 mins
15g Centennial, 20 mins
15g Amarillo, 15 mins
15g Centennial, 15 mins
20g Amarillo, 10 mins
20g Centennial, 10 mins
25g Amarillo, 5 mins
25g Centennial, 5 mins
25g Amarillo, FO
25g Centennial, FO
So, that's 200g in a 23L batch. In terms of getting flavour and aroma, could I get away with say half what I have?
