So here is my simple IIPA recipe that I put together:
12lb Northern Brewer Gold LME
1lb Simpsons Golden Promise - crushed and steeped
boil 60 mins 3.0 Columbus
boil 60 mins 1.0 Cascade
boil 30 mins 2.0 Cascade
boil 15 mins 0.25 Cascade
boil 15 mins 0.5 Amarillo
boil 5 mins 0.25 Amarillo
boil 1 min 0.25 Amarillo
dry hop????
PacMan Yeast
OG 1.081 FG: ? I plan to let the beer ferment for 3 weeks in the primary and then age the beer either in bottles or secondary. I plan to dry hop about 7 days before bottling.
I need some advice on the aging and dry hopping. Im skeptical about getting any benefit from dry hopping, as this beer will need to age for quite some time. This would be the case if I let it bottle condition for several months. I guess I could let the beer age for a long time in a secondary, then add hops before bottling and pitching some additional yeast.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
