Hey everybody, I'm looking for help with an IPA recipe. I've been trying make a good IPA for years now and the beers I've brewed have been either too harsh or have had a grassy flavor from adding too much hops. I think I've been making it too complex so I'm trying to simplify things a bit. I'm looking to make an American style IPA, with a bold, citrusy aroma. I've only got a 5 gallon MLT, so I max out around 10 lbs of grain, that's why I'm adding the LB of DME. If my efficiency improves, maybe I'd skip or reduce it.
9 lbs Maris Otter
1 lb Crystal 20
1 lb light DMA
75% expected efficiency = 1.065 OG
1 oz Simcoe first wort hop
1 oz Amarillo 7 min
1 oz Cascade 7 min
1 oz Cascade dry hop
Safale s-05
any thoughts?
