Sitting here sipping on an English IPA (Burton-On-Housatonic from BYO) and I was wondering if I could make a really hoppy session beer, a low gravity IPA sorta thing.
I was thinking of maybe dropping the gravity to about 1.040 and bitterness to about 35 IBUs which keeps it at the same OG:Bitterness ratio (0.875). Then for the flavour/aroma/dryhopping multiplying the original amounts by something like 0.5 - 0.75.
Has anyone tried something like this, or will it throw everything out of 'whack'?
