Second overall attempt at brewing, first one used a boxed set, this one is my own take on a hop-heavy IPA.
Grain Steep
4 oz. Briess Caparpils
12 oz. Briess Caramel 20L
Steep 45 minutes
Fermentables
9.9 lbs Light LME
1 lb. Corn Sugar
Hop Schedule (overall 60 min)
3 oz. Columbus 60 min
1 oz. Simcoe 30 min
1 oz. Columbus 5 min
2 oz. Simcoe 5 min
1 oz. Australian Topaz 0 min
1 oz. Cascade 0 min
Yeast
Wyeast 1272 American Ale II
Dry Hop
1 oz. Columbus 2 weeks in
1 oz. Australian Topaz 2 weeks in
1 oz. Cascade 2 weeks in
===============================
One question I have is- do you think I should dry-hop in the primary and just keep going for 4 weeks, or should I do 2 weeks primary, then dry-hop 2 weeks in secondary?
The store I bought from was out of Amarillo, which was what I wanted to use instead of Australian Topaz.
Any problems? Suggestions?
