Next batch up will be an India Pale Ale. Going with a similar recipe as I have done many times, but this time I have a lot more whole leaf hops to use. I might add a little something else there just to give it a little character. Biscuit malt, or Aromatic malt…something.
11# 2-Row
.5# Melanoidin
1# Wheat
.5# Dextrin 20L
Mash at about 151F to increase ferment-ability and keep the finished product a little on the dry side to enhance the Hop flavors. Shoot for about 1.055 SG and 1.010-1.015 FG.
1 oz Columbus 40 min
1 oz Amarillo 10 min
2 oz Cascade 5 min
2 oz Cascase 0 min
That should give me about 60 IBUs and all that Cascade at the end should add plenty of Fresh citrusy hoppy goodness. I’ll dry-hop as well in secondary for about a week.
Probly start this late Saturday afternoon. I think.
