This one is up next! I’m brewing another smash, meant to showcase the bravo hop and Munich malt.
- 12 lbs Munich malt
- o.5 oz bravo at 60
- 2 oz bravo at 5
- 2 oz bravo at 0
- 2 oz bravo dry hop
- US-05 yeast
Targets:
- OG 1.064
- IBU 45.9
- SRM 12.3
- ABV 6.2%
Tasting notes: Came out GREAT! Very hoppy, I didn’t get the “fruitiness” that a lot of people claim from bravo, but it was still quite hoppy. I got more of a spicy flavor with fruit notes. Definitely worth brewing again. I think a little 2-row along with the Munich would be optimal tho, perhaps up to 50% 2-row.

OG was a little lower than expected at 1.052. I changed the first addition of hops to first wort hops instead of 60 minutes, which should have added about three IBUs. However, I accidentally added an ounce of bravo instead of a half ounce! So it’ll be quite a bit more IPA like than planned, with IBUs in the 70’s LOL.
Note to self: half an ounce does NOT equal 28 grams!
After several weeks, this beer is damn near perfect. Honestly, if there’s a criticism, I’d use 1/2 2-row and 1/2 munich, but otherwise this one came out damn good! I wouldn’t change the hops schedule at all.
