Malt's Spot Imperial Red
Hey all,
So I've scoured the web and I haven't really found what I'm looking for, so I downloaded BeerSmith and thought I'd give designing my own imperial red a shot. I'm pretty stoked about trying out the imperial blend yeast from Wyeast to bring this one together. I used Imperial IPA guidlines to design this brew. I feel that this will give me the 2x American Amber styling. I have to be careful with my hops usage since the wife isn't a huge hop head and I really like them, so this will hopefully strike a balance. I have also learned that only having a 3 gallon brew pot sucks, since I would have to use almost half this many hops to get the same effect with a 5 gallon boil. BTW, this is for a 5 gallon batch.
