Hey everyone. This is sort of a permutation of Edworts wounded knee IPA, with some changes. If you have any suggestions for the hop shedule/grain bill, please chime in!
12lb american 2-row
1lb Munich
.75 crystal 60
Beer calculus has me at a 1.065 with a 70% mash efficiency for a 5.5 gallon batch, and 65 IBUs.
Hops:
60-.5 Amarillo
45-.5 Simcoe
30-.5 Cascade
15- 1 Cascade
10- 1 Simcoe
5- 1 Amarillo
Flameout additions will be .5 Simcoe and .5 Amarillo, just to use up the remainder of the 1oz packets.
I was thinking of dryhopping with one oz of each hop in the recipe- 1oz simcoe, 1oz amarillo, 1oz cascade.
How does the schedule look? Is it a bad idea to dryhop with three varieties at the risk of having a garbled hop aroma?
As for yeast, I'll most likely just go with 05.
I've also been toying with the idea of adding some sugar and just calling it an IIPA, in which case I'd probably bump up the 60 and 45 additions to a full oz.
Any thoughts?
Edit-also, Mr.Malty has me needing 1.2 packets of dry yeast for this batch...should I give it a go with one, or just toss 2 full packs in? I know overpitching is less of an issue than underpitching, and frankly, I'm not keen on this being a yeasty/estery IPA. I may have answered my own question, haha.
