Looking to make a beer close to Sebago Brewing Company's Frye's Leap American IPA. It has a strong hop flavor and medium body. It is light golden in color with a fruity hoppiness that comes from extra dry hop conditioning. Ingredients found so far are:
Malt: American 2-row, caramel 20L & 60L
Hops: Highly hopped with Cascade, Centennial and Nugget. Dry hopped with Centennial and Cascade.
ABV: 6.2%
Original Gravity: 1.062
Color: Light Copper, 12 SRM
IBU: 55
Here is my guess for a 5 gal recipe for an Imperial ale:
10 pounds American Two-row Pale
1 pound Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L
1 pound Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L
boil 60 mins 0.5 Cascade pellet 6.0
boil 60 mins 0.5 Centennial pellet 8.7
boil 60 mins 0.25 Nugget pellet 13.0
boil 10 mins 0.5 Cascade pellet 6.0
boil 10 mins 0.5 Centennial pellet 8.7
boil 10 mins 0.25 Nugget pellet 13.0
Primary 14 days@68F
Secondary dry hop 14 days with 0.5 oz Cascade & 0.5 oz Centennial
California Ale V yeast in liquid form with high flocculation and 72% attenuation. Chose this yeast because it is listed as commonly used in American IPA's, gives a fruity taste and has low attenuation that contributes to a fuller body. This recipe calculates to produce the following at 75% efficiency which I can achieve..
OG: 1.069
SRM: 11
IBU: 55
ABV: 6.7
Questions: Does this recipe look like it will produce a better than medium body beer? Have heard the ratio of pale malt to crystal malt affects body and head but not sure what that ratio is.
This is an all grain recipe. Any critique on the recipe are welcomed.
