Grist:
2-Row brewer’s malt- about 95-97% of the grist
Caramel 60 malt- the balance of your grist bill
Shoot for an OG of 15.8 plato (1.063 specific gravity)
Shoot for an FG of 2.5 plato (1.010 specific gravity)
This will put you in the ballpark of 7.0%ABV
Boil:
Use any hop with clean bittering at the start of your boil, shoot for around 50 BUs or so
Around 15 minutes from the end of the boil, add Columbus hops shooting for 5 BUs
To the Whirlpool, add Columbus hops at a rate of 1 oz per 5 gallons
Ferment:
Ferment around 68-72 degrees with a clean ale strain, something like 1056
After fermentation, if you can drop to 50ish degrees, and dry hop with Columbus at about 2 oz per 5 gallons.
Chill after a few days and allow to condition for 2 weeks.
