SMaSH

[Padraic]

So I'm thinking of getting my SMaSH on and was wondering what is the best way to formulate a recipe?

How do you guys do it?

I'd love to know do you start with an IBU number in mind and work from there or how is the best way to make it up.

I'm thinking similar IBU's would be good as I'd like to do a few side by side brews to see what happens!! i.e. using the same mash process but playing around with the hops!

Anyways any thoughts or tips on SMaSH brewing would be great!

I did a single hopped pale with all calypso. (15.7 AA)  50g in the boil and 50 dry hopped. Just trying to get a feel for some of the lesser known hops. From sample taste i dont know if Calypso would be one id go for again. Its under gas now and should be ready for B&C next week.

Plan on using the same malt bill for a few more single hop recipes.
Its 4.5kg marris otter, 500g Caramalt. 21L batch.

What timings for your additions?

Dry hop in primary or secondary?
