I'm getting married in July. The wedding is going to be at a brewery, and for wedding favors, we're giving out 22oz bottles of homebrew (yeah, she's the girl for me!).
I'm brewing a test batch of my I(do)PA today... Here's the recipe (10 gal):
Malt:
22lb American 2-row
2lb Xtal 40L
1lb Victory
0.5lb Light roast
1lb Dextrin Malt
Hops:
2 oz Chinook (12%), 60 minutes
1 oz Fuggles (4.5%), 45 minutes
1 oz Fuggles (4.5%), 30 minutes
2 oz Fuggles (4.5%), end of boil (steeped for 15 min)
Yeast: Wyeast 1968 (London ESB)
Single stage infusion mash, 90 minute boil.
We both usually prefer a hoppier IPA, but since we're handing it out, we're trying to make it accessible to our family and friends from less hop-friendly places
