| OG: | 1.066 | FG: | 1.016 | |||||
| Alcohol: | 6.5% v/v (5.1% w/w) | |||||||

|||||||
| Mash: | 72% efficiency | |||||||
| Boil: | minutes | SG 1.055 | 4.25 gallons | |||||
| Hops: | .75 oz. Simcoe (14% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Crystal (3.25% AA, 15 min.) 1 oz. Crystal (aroma) |
|||||||
| Yeast: | Believe it or not, I used a dry ale yeast by Safale (S05), and was extremely happy with the result. In fact I will use this yeast over the 1056 yeast for this specific beer any day. | |||||||
| Tasting: | I noticed another Sweetwater clone here, but Sweetwater actually uses Simcoe hops in their IPA. I added the Crystal for the aroma as well as a little more Munich, but overall the maltiness is right on. You could easily go with a full ounce of Simcoe on this recipe without killing it. | |||||||
