If you saw my earlier post from this morning, you'll know that I'm about to take my first shot at an IPA. Curiosity finally got the better of me and I have hops and grain that are on the tail end of their prime that need to be used. So help me out and critique this recipe. Feel free to nail it to the wall and make it bleed. Like I said, I'm just trying to get rid of some old stock while trying something new.
"An Odd Duck IPA" or "And the Kitchen Sink Too!"
7.5gal Boil size
5.5gal batch size
WLP060 (1.5L starter)
est. OG - 1.067
est FG - 1.016
est IBUs - 70.21
est SRM - 7.83
6# Domestic 2-row - 44.4%
4# Golden Promise - 29.6%
2# Vienna - 14.8%
1# Crystal 30 - 7.4%
0.5# Carapils - 3.7%
1.25oz C-Type [9.7] @ 60min
1oz Cascade [7.3] @ 30min
.5oz Cascade [7.3] @ 10min
.5oz Zythos [10.9] @ 5min
.5oz Zythos [10.9] @ 0min
Dry Hop for 7 days
1oz C-Type
1oz Cascade
1oz Zythos
I bought 4oz of Zythos that I've only used in an ESB once. It worked out well for a British style, but I know it will need some more backbone to stand up to an American IPA. I have plenty of experience with the Noble and European hops to know what's good for what style, but I'm as lost as last year's Easter Egg when it comes to the big boys.
