Looking for some feedback on my IPA recipe. I've brewed this one 2x times so far, but I'm not a huge fan of IPAs so I'm trying to dial it in a little bit more... on paper at least. I'm going for a fairly dry, citrus (grapefruit and orange) and a little bit of fruitiness from the S-04.
Mash at 152F for 60 min and I usually do a 90min boil.
I usually ferment (with temp control) at 64F for s-04, and then ramp it up to about 70F after 5-7 days of good fermentation.
So here goes -
Malts -
6 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 67.8 %
2 lbs Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 2 22.6 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 3 5.6 %
Other fermentables -
5.0 oz Sugar, Table (Sucrose) (3.0 SRM) Sugar 5 3.5 %
0.6 oz Brown Sugar, Light (8.0 SRM) Sugar 6 0.5 %
Hops -
0.40 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - First Wort 60.0 min Hop 4 29.7 IBUs
0.40 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 30.0 min Hop 7 8.2 IBUs
0.40 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 15.0 min Hop 8 5.3 IBUs
0.40 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 9 2.1 IBUs
0.40 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 10 5.4 IBUs
Dry Hop schedule - in the keg for 5 days in bag. Will remove after 5 days
0.50 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Dry Hop 5.0 Days Hop 12 0.0 IBUs
0.50 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] - Dry Hop 5.0 Days Hop 13 0.0 IBUs
Yeast -
1.0 pkg SafAle English Ale (DCL/Fermentis #S-04) [23.66 ml] Yeast 11 -
Also, as a side note, I named this beer after my 4th Great Grandfather, Pennsylvania Civil War vet and barrel maker that hanged himself in 1868.
