So I've been doing some single hop IPA's lately and I need some help with this one. I just drained what was left of an all-amarillo IPA, and I was disappointed with how quickly the hop flavor and aroma dissipated. So I figured Id increase the late hop additions on the Simcoe IIPA
I'm definitely going for a Hop-Heavy IIPA here, but I've heard that too much simcoe "tastes like cat piss." I've only used Simcoe in small amounts with other hops, so I have no way to know how true that comment is. This is what I have so far.
Batch: 5.25 gallon
Boil 3.5 (partial Mash)
Boil Gravity 1.040
S.G. 1.082
Est. F.G. 1.018-1.020
Est. ABV: 8.2%
1.50 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] (60 min) Hops 33.6 IBU
1.25 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] (30 min) Hops 21.5 IBU
1.25 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] (10 min) Hops 10.2 IBU
1.00 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] (0 min) Hops -
1.00 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] (Dry Hop 10 days) Hops -
The grain bill is all pale 2-row, crystal 10L and Dextrin + the needed late addition Light LME to achieve 1.082
All thoughts and suggestions appreciated!
Thanks
