My "Run What Ya Brung" Brew
Ok, so I was lookin’ at the few things I have on hand and decided to do a “Run What Ya Brung” brew so I can use up some partial bits of stuff I have… I’m in an experimental phase right now, and this is what I came up with:
Mikey’s Run What Ya Brung Not Quite Belgian Pale Ale
Malt:
Munton’s Extra Light DME 6lbs.
Candi Rock Sugar (amber) 75L 7oz
Briess Caramel Munich 60L 5oz
Briess Roast Barley 1oz (all I can add and stay in color guidelines)
Hops:
Hallertau 3.9% AAU .3oz at 60 min
Spaltz 3.5% AAU .3oz at 60 min
WYE Target 11.8% AAU .25oz at 60 min
EKG 5.5% AAU .25oz at 2 min
This gives me the following According to ProMash:
Estimated OG: 1.060 (style max is 1.054 but I tend to come in under cause I’m steeping the grains… prolly about 1.054-1.058 in truth)
Estimated SRM 12.2 (style guide is 8-14)
Estimated IBUs 25.2 (style guide is 20-30)
I’m gonna use WLP011 European Ale (what I have on hand) but run it at room temp (call it 75F air temp) and see what happens… This is not a “Must Hit Style Dead On” brew… just using what is on hand for an interesting experiment in a lower colored beer (I've been in a very brown phase of late... 2 Northern English Brows and 1 Flanders Oud Bruin). Anyway, that’s what I have on hand and it will use up some of the partial bags of hop pellets and a few other things I have laying around…
Whadda ya think?
