Did the same Beersmith analysis, looking back at the first recipe.
It estimates the specific gravity to be around 1.040. Our adjusted estimated beginning was 1.039, so we are probably close.
ABV estimate, assuming final gravity is 1.010 is 3.52-3.77% ABV.
IBU's are 26.2, which it actually thinks is below the range for an American Pale Ale. We'll see about that. FWIW, if we'd have boiled 2 gallons in the pot, rather than 1.5, IBU's jump to 35.9.
The color is 8.2 SRMs, whatever those are. Looks like a burnt light brown, darker than khaki. 5 SRM's are the lightest for this style, so we're a little darker than the lightest pales can be.
I'm pretty happy with our results, on our first batch, compared to what the program thinks we should have accomplished.

so we doubled the IBU's and it still thinks we are under APA range? what a weak-ass kit that was.
ReplyDeletewe need to up the wort from 1.5 gallons to 2
