New IPA @ Moss Hollow: Hop Whore. Recipe Feedback Requested. Brewing in an Hour.

Evan! · 03-14-2008, 02:51 PM

I've been impressed with honey malt in hoppy ales in the past, so I'm gonna forgo my standard pale ale adjunct (Victory) and go with honey and a couple crystals. Hopping is cascade-centric, with some other similar varieties thrown in. Mash hopping turned out well on my DoW IIPA, so I'm going that direction again.

Thoughts. Quick. Please. Brewing soon.

Dayum, looks good to me! I don't see a reason the change anything. Only thing I'd do is dry hop with some Cascade, Columbus, Simcoe or all three combined.

zoebisch01 · 03-14-2008, 03:13 PM

Looks good maestro.

Professor Frink · 03-14-2008, 03:14 PM

Looks good to me, I like the 1 lb. of honey malt.

mrkristofo · 03-14-2008, 03:24 PM

Mmmmm, honey malt is tasty. I'm not a big fan of Chinooks as a bittering hop or otherwise, but that's just my personal preference. You should dry hop that bad boy with a couple of ounces though. The recipe looks good to me. Brew on!

Evan! · 03-14-2008, 03:26 PM

Thanks all!!! I'm off to brew on this rather glorious Friday! Wish me luck...I'll probably toss some pics on here in a couple hours of all those beautiful hops.

Skippin out on the office to brew---it's sunny, in the 60's, and the skeeters aren't out yet. I ask you: does it get any better than this?

Cheers ta ya!

+1 on the Chinook and entire recipe - looks tasty. Wish I was brewing instead of sitting in an office today.

PseudoChef · 03-14-2008, 03:28 PM

Yeah, I wouldn't change a thing...just make sure you dry hop when the time comes. You can definitely design a recipe!

That recipe looks good, but I'm cheap and look for ways to get the most out of everything.
You could probably cut your 1 min addition in half and save it for Dry Hopping if you steep the last addition after the wort cools to about 180. Check out my Fat Owl Pale Ale in my recipes. It is a slight variation of the once commercially available Sharks Tooth Pale Ale(94-98)
