So i'm trying to come up with a honey blonde and here is what I've come up with. This is one of my first solo recipes so i am open to any and all help I can get.
5 gallon batch
all grain, 90 minute boil, boil off rate is 1.5 per hour so it'll be a 7.25 gallon boil.
9 lbs - Pale 2 Row US
2 lbs - Honey Malt
1 lbs - Honey (last 10 mins of boil possibly flameout??)
1/4 - tsp Cinnamon (last 10 mins of boil)
.5 oz - Cascade hops (60 Mins)
.5 oz - Citra hops (10 mins)
1 packet - American Ale II (Wyeast Labs 1272)
Then after 30 days in primary add 2 vanilla beans in secondary for 15 days
Any thoughts or suggestions?
According to Beersmith it'll only be 2.2% ABV and that seems wrong to me. and brewer's friend said 7.8% abv so I am lost on that front.
