It isn't a new idea I know. I have looked at a few different posts and recipes and figure that I will do a couple of different things. First is that I will be making a medium gravity brew first that is about 1.050 and 20 IBU. Then I will make 10 gallons of IPA and pitch onto the yeast.
I want this to be along the lines of Pliny the Younger on the aromatic front.
Due to the color I am thinking that I will keep the coloring malts to a low, just enough for flavor, though not so much that it is over colored.
Sheep in the Fence Imperial IPA
OG: 1.116
FG: 1.025 (hoping)
IBU: 79
SRM: 11
25lbs Maris Otter
15lbs Rye
3lbs Victory
.5lbs Crystal 40L
.5lbs Crystal 90L
5lbs Brown Sugar
3oz Magnum First Wort Hopping
1oz Centennial (60min)
1oz Chinook (60)
1oz Cascade (60)
.5oz Chinook (15)
.5oz Cascade(15)
.5oz Centennial (15)
4oz Centennial (1)
6oz Centennial Dry Hopped (1 week)
6oz Cascade Dry Hopped (1 week)
US-05 to ferment this bad boy out
My question is that with the hopping schedule, am I getting enough aromatic or is it too much?
