English IPA - Dry Hop or Not
|
|
I have an English IPA recipe that I've been conditioning for a while, I'm almost ready to bring it on line but it just seems something is missing, maybe my palate is singed from the IPA and Hoppy APA that I've been enjoying, but I figured I'd post the poll above with my options, If I dry hop it will be with 1oz total weight of leaf hops...
Code:
Recipe:
Amount Item Type % or IBU
11 lbs Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 78.57 %
8.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 3.57 %
8.0 oz Crystal Malt - 60L (Thomas Fawcett) (60.0 SRM) Grain 3.57 %
8.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 3.57 %
0.50 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 8.5 IBU
1.50 oz Challenger [7.50 %] (50 min) Hops 32.6 IBU
1.00 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00 %] (30 min) Hops 10.5 IBU
1.00 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00 %] (15 min) Hops 6.8 IBU
0.50 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00 %] (5 min) Hops 1.4 IBU
0.55 oz Burton Water Salts (Mash 60.0 min) Misc
1.10 items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 min) Misc
1 lbs 8.0 oz Dememera Sugar (2.0 SRM) Sugar 10.71 %
2 Pkgs Nottingham Yeast (Lallemand #-) Yeast-Ale
Mashed at 154 for 60min.
FG was measured at 1.012
edit:
FWIW my original vote was for half and half...

An English IPA won't have the left-coast citrus burn, regardless of how much Fuggles and EKG you toss in. Let it be.

I like Fuggles, so I say DH with them. Forget about the citrus burn the fresh earthyness would be good.  |

My recipe above already showed options listed that i hadn;t included yet so it's been edited.
I'm not looking for a citrus burn, I just thought that my (granted, un-carbed) samples seem to be missing something...A depth or layer, maybe the notty finished too clean or the (mostly) goldings hops schedule wasn;t complex enough...

I say dry hop it. There is something to say about keeping in tune with a particular style, but do what you like. I'm thinking about brewing a double ipa - porter hybrid. Just because.

Another idea would be to dry hop half of the 5 gallons, and not do the other half.
Thats my vote  |

EKG's are the most traditional. I always use them for dry hopping my English IPA's, and think it makes a noticeable improvement.

Definitely DH with EKG!!! It will give a subtle compliment to all those late EKG hop additions!! FWIW.. I'd move the 30 minute addition to 20 too..

Split your batch and dry hop half of it. Afterwards, you can compare them and get the best of both worlds.

If it were a 10 gallon batch I'de definately split it.
Currently I have (2) 2.5g corny (one empty one filled with apfelwein) so it's definately and option.
My worry is that if one is way better than the other (chances slim that the addition of a HD would alter it that much) I'd be annoyed that I don't have more of the better (more betterer??).
