You could probably use all Falconers. It is a blend, so it kind of covers a lot of bases. Especially in a beer like this that doesn't have a 60 minute addition. A little Amarillo wouldn't hurt it though.

Thanks. That was what I was originally planning to do but started thinking about maybe adding to the citrus complexity. FF is supposed to give you lemon & g'fruit; Amarillo is more orange or tangerine to me. I just noticed that it's going to take me a half ounce of gypsum to get up to Burton levels of sulfate.

Do you always Burtonize?

[MtnBrewer]

No, but I figured it would be good to do here.

hop accentuation?

[MtnBrewer]

hop accentuation?

Yeah, earlier I said that this was an American Amber but I think it's more like an IPA. So I'm going to treat it like one.

[Genesee Ted]

You could change the wording on your av to say, "I don't always Burtonize my water, but when I do, it is to accentuate hops"

[MtnBrewer]

:rolf:Yeah but then I'd have to track down the original.

Im brewing this up finally. Are the 0 min hop additions at flame out or are they dry hopped?

[MtnBrewer]

Flame out.

[jammer]

Thanks. I'm about 20 mins from collecting first runnings. Just from stirring the mash, i can already see the beautiful reddish color.

[Mya]

Best part about FWH'ing right there! I remember the first time I tried it I had some Tettnanger that I FWH'ed with. I opened up the lid of the kettle and that smell hit me and I was all .

I did it without knowing I was doing it for years, I always just put my bittering charge in the kettle so I wouldn't forget it

[MtnBrewer]

That's really funny.

Why yes, yes it does. *grumble*

Crap. Im really pushing it then. Im doing a 6 gal batch in about a 7.5 gallon turkey fryer. I do this all the time though, just dont make much rye stuff, except for Dennys RyePA. (yum)
