Hi!
So I have a decision to make about a Belgian IPA I want to brew. I need to decide between a Dubbel IPA or a Tripel IPA. I think I'd rather go with the Tripel, but it needs to be done by the first week in July, and I won't be able to brew until next weekend (May 12th ish). Can a tripel be ready in about 7.5 weeks? I'd also like to see if these recipes look OK. Thanks for any comments!
Just wondering, if I only boil the extract for the last 15 minutes, will I be able to use less hops, or does that only apply if I add the extract after I turn off the fire?
Here are the (partial mash) recipes:
Dubbel IPA
2.50 lbs Pilsner Malt (2-row Belgian)
2.00 lbs Munich Malt
0.50 lbs Caramunich Malt
0.25 lbs Special B Malt
4.00 lbs Extra Light Dry Extract (15 minute boil)
0.75 lbs Candi Sugar (Amber)
1.25 oz Chinhook (60 min)
1.00 oz Halltertaur Mittelfrueh (30 min)
1.00 oz Mt. Hood (15 min)
1.00 oz Cascade (dry hop 7 days)
1 package White Labs Yeast #WLP500 (I'll make a starter)
Tripel IPA
5.00 lbs Pilsner Malt (2-row Belgian)
5.00 lbs Extra Light Dry Extract (15 minute boil)
1.00 lbs Turbinado (raw) Sugar
1.25 oz Columbus/Tomahawk (60 minutes)
1.00 oz Cascade (35 min)
1.00 oz Goldings (20 min)
1.00 oz Cascade (dry hop 7 days)
1 package White Labs Yeast #WLP500 (I'll make a starter)
I'll ferment as long as they need it and bottle when they're ready.
Again, thanks for any comments!
