I'll be brewing this Friday morning. I have the Brewers Best Double IPA kit http://www.brewersbestkits.com/pdf/New BB Recipes/1035 Double IPA Recipe.pdf but would like to make some tweeks and additions.
So at my disposal I have the following:
Fermentables:
9.9 lbs light LME
1 lb corn sugar
2 lbs wildflower honey (mine, hobby beekeeper)
Specialty/Steeping grains:
8 oz crushed crystal 40L
4 oz crushed carapils
1 lb crushed crystal 60L
*note the crystal 40L & carapils are packaged together
Hops
4 oz Columbus
2 oz Zythos
2 oz Simcoe
2 oz Citra
Yeast
Safale US-05
I do partial boils in a 20qt pot.
60 minute boil
Here is my plan at this point:
Steep all the Specialty grains (40L, 60L, Carapils) at 150ish for 20 minutes.
Add H2O to get to around 3 gallons
1 can (3.3 lbs) LME @ 60 min
2 oz Columbus @ 60 min
Heres's where I'm stuck. I want to add the rest of the LME, corn sugar, and honey near the end of the boil AND need to get my flavoring & aroma hops in as well. Plus I want to use some of those hops for dry hop as well.
I would like your suggestions.
