![]() Try using Fuggles to bitter, Goldings for later additions and perhaps a small dry hop, again with Goldings. Now getting a complex recipe Mix that works can take a while to fine tune, but Smash brews are great for learning about individual hops and their impacts, and having brewed both EKG and Fuggles Smash brews, they both work well, (tho i didnt dry hop either of them.)Ī lot of of the traditional British beers you would be able to think of use some combination of those hops. How you add ingredients to a recipie, and 'test' them out for expected abv, ibu etc, and add or remove ingredients to tweak, try another, Sus out the metrics, gravity, IBUs, and EBC's then get a free brewing app and if its not intuitive if concerned about grassy notes dont dry hop with fuggles. beersmith is the comprehensive needs a book to learn properly option and is free on a 14 day trial.īut when it comes to beer and its ingredients there are 3 catagories you can measureġ)alcohol level as indicated by the original gravity and expected final gravity which is dictated by the sugars added either through a mash or additions.Ģ) colour - the most subjectve and imho least important aspect measured in ebc's to which the grain and adjuncts contribute.ģ) bitterness from hops in OBU's derived from the hop utilisation % and the original alpha acid % of the hops used.Īfaik there is no metric for the dry hop additions made, historically dry hop additions were modest and added hints of flavour, and not all beers benefit from them. I'm quite new to this hence the recipe request so not up to designing my own, would appreciate some help with hop amounts & timings.Ĭheck out some of the many brewing apps or programs, im quite partial to brewmate tho its been through a few changes. Might give that a go if nothing else comes up, which one would you prefer yourself? What are the differences, I'd have thought Fuggles would be a bit strange on its own being earthy/grassy? ![]() Fil wrote:trust me brew up a couple of smash brews with MO and a target gravity circa 1036-1040 with a medium bitterness and as much late hopping as tickles your fancy, the results will be a couple of crisp golden ales that will quench a summer afternoons thirst without banging your head into the lawn too early.
