Hi Everyone
I'm new to making up my own recipes so I thought I'd look for some advice.
I'm making an 11 Litre batch to get rid of some of the hops I've got knocking around. I've also got a load of elderflower, do you think it would be worth throwing that in too (if so when)?.
Here's the recipe:
Grain Bill
----------------
2.248 kg Pale Malt (95.25%)
0.112 kg Carapils (Dextrine) (4.75%)
Hop Bill
----------------
24.0 g Summer (Aus) Leaf (6.1% Alpha) @ 60 Minutes (Boil) (2.2 g/L)
12.0 g Bobek (Styrian Goldings) Leaf (3.5% Alpha) @ 30 Minutes (Boil) (1.1 g/L)
12.0 g Bobek (Styrian Goldings) Leaf (3.5% Alpha) @ 15 Minutes (Boil) (1.1 g/L)
Misc Bill
----------------
7.0 g Irish Moss @ 15 Minutes (Boil)
What do you think?

Hi there hoggy,
Most recipes published on the net lack what we call integrity. In other words, the information given or the terminology used is not enough to convey accurately to others what the brewer means. It's easy to think that everyone else knows what you mean but rarely is that the case. So before anyone can comment, we need a bit more info...
1. What original gravity are you aiming for?
2. You say 11 litre batch. Batch can mean any one of four different volumes unfortunately. In other words, although it is still used all the time, it has actually become a meaningless term. Here we have come up with some fast to learn terminology so as everyone can see clearly what the other person is talking about. For example, when you say 11 litres do you mean...
VIP - Volume into Packaging: How much beer you want to bottle or keg.
VIF - Volume into Fermentor: The volume you want to get into your fermentor.
VAW - Volume of Ambient Wort: VIF plus your kettle trub.
VFO - Volume at Flame-Out: The volume of your hot wort before shrinkage from cooling.
The right terminology is really important otherwise the reader can interpret what you write any way they want. Put your first post here on any other forum and you'll get a whole lot of contradictory replies but no one will ask the questions above.
Knowing the original gravity and what you mean by batch size is critical info.
Also try and describe a bit more on what type of beer (or beer style) you are trying to create.

Hey hoggy,
That terminology PP is using comes from this site and is found within the BIABacus. Have you looked at it yet? The latest version is located here; http://biabrewer.info/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1869#p25993
Good news is you can make a beer from those ingredients.
