SMASH Beer Recipe

I’ve been growing Cascade hops for 3 years now and have a good crop to use from this year. I decided to make a SMASH (Single Malt Single Hop) beer to economize.
This is the all-grain recipe that I used

Recipe Specs
Batch Size: 5.0 gallons
Original Gravity: 1.050 (75% Efficiency)
Final Gravity: 1.011  (1.035 actual)

Ingredients:
  • 10 lbs Maris Otter 2 Row Malt
  • 12 ounces of Whole Cascade Hops (6%AA) for 60 minutes
  • 1 Whirfloc tablet (Irish Moss)
  • Wyeast 1056 American Ale Yeast
Procedure:

Mash for one hour at 152° F or until starch conversion is complete. Mash out at 170° F. Bring to a boil. Add hops in bag. Boil for 60 minutes. After the time has passed, add the Whirfloc tablet.

Chill to 72° F, and rack to carboy. Pitch yeast and ferment at 68° F for 7-10 days or until fermentation is complete.

Let rest for 7-14 days at 68° F and bottle.
