Hey all,
I'm attempting my first clone recipe in trying to match Ithaca's Flower Power IPA. I found the grain bill, which is pretty straightforward:
14 lb American Two-row Pale
8 oz Honey Malt
6 oz Acidulated Malt (edit from 8 oz)
The Hop Additions, however, were a bit more tricky:
boil 60 mins 0.5oz Centennial
boil 60 mins 0.5oz Simcoe
boil 30 mins 0.5oz Centennial
boil 30 mins 0.5oz Simcoe
boil 15 mins 1.0oz Ahtanum
boil 15 mins 1.0oz Cascade
boil 1 min 1.0oz Ahtanum
boil 1 min 1.0oz Cascade
boil 1 min 1.0oz Centennial
dry hop 7 days 1.0oz Cascade
dry hop 7 days 0.5oz Chinook
dry hop 7 days 1.0oz Citra
dry hop 7 days 1.0oz Simcoe
dry hop 7 days 0.5oz Sorachi Ace
This equals out to about 75.5 IBU on hopville.com, which is right on target. I used the Ithaca website for the hop varieties, and added the Citra and Sorachi Ace because some internet snooping revealed they may use these as well to dry hop the beer.
Thoughts on these hop choices/amounts/times? Again, this is my first attempt at coming up with my own hop schedule based on a specific beer I'm trying to clone, so any input would be greatly appreciated.
I also haven't settled on a yeast yet, so any suggestions from Flower Power fans would also be appreciated.
Thanks!
