I'm doing an IPA this weekend and I'm not sure if I should be using any Carapils in this brew. I wasoriginally going to steep 1/2 lb but the guy at the LHBS advised me to just steep the whole pound I purchased from him. After reading more about the Carapils, I'm not sure if he's correct. Here's the brew:
6lbs. Light DME
1lb Caramel 20L (30 min @ 154)
CARAPILS?
1oz. Amarillo @ 60min
.5oz Cascade @30min
.25oz Citra @ 30min
.5oz Cascade @15min
.25oz Citra @ 15min
.5oz Cascade @10min
.25oz Citra @ 10min
.5oz Cascade @0min
.25oz Citra @ 0min
Undecided on drop hopping this one.
Wyeast American Ale II (starter)
Any pointers about this recipe would be appreciated. I'm thinking with all the hops I don't need the Carapils. And I don't want a hazy beer. Thanks.
