so i have alot of different grains laying around as well as hops that are loosing their AA's by the day. Anyway i wanted to use all of them in some super odd superbrew so i threw this togeather. I would need 2 row and i threw some 6row in the recipe too because of all the specialty grain(i dont have experience with using 6row so please let me know if im off base). Think itd be good?

Use the ale yeast.

Drop the flaked wheat or you'll never have a clear beer.

Careful with the chocolate. Just a slight amount too much and the beer will be darker than you want. I'd do it without since you have enough crystals in there.

I like the hops additions.

Your OG borders on the high side for a regualr IPA.

Overall though, sounds like a solid start.

and i forgot- i have some saaz to throw in there too from my trippel...

Is it worth a little bit of wheat for added head? I figure i can cold crash it for a bit to get it cleared up. After all it will be sitting in my kegs for a while

I just did an IPA with Centennial and Willamette. Can't wait to make it again!

i think it looks fine as is. that's not too much chocolate IMO, it'll round out the flavor and darken it up a bit, maybe a little dark for an IPA, but as long as it's tasty.

a little caravienne goes a long way, that should add some very nice maltiness.

i would add the saaz in at the end, it will soften the flavors.
looks good

I'd get rid of the centennial, the hallertaaur, the saaz, the cara vienna, the wheat, and the chocolate...other than that it looks great!


Thas just what I would do, its your beer though.

how can you tell when 6 row is needed? What % of the grain bill has to be low enzymatic malts

BarleyWater

Recipes 

Most malts with a low diastatic power, still have enough enzymes to self convert. Specialty grains like crystal don't need any enzymes, since thay have already been converted by the maltster, and most other specialty grains will have enough diastatic power to self convert. 6-row is used when there is a high portion (over 20%) of adjuncts like corn or rice in the brew, because those adjuncts contain no enzymes.
