Anybody have a good extract IPA recipe similar to Victory Hop Devil or Bell's Two Hearted?
Well, this is what I'm going to go with... thoughts?
AMERICAN IPA
1 lb crushed crystal malt 60L - Steep at 155-160 for 20 minutes
3 lbs Pale DME at 60 min
1.5 oz. Centennial (9%) at 60 Min
0.5 Centennial (9%) & 0.5 Oz UK First Gold (8.1%) at 15 min
1 oz UK FG (8.1%) at 5 min
4 lbs Amber DME at knockout
11.5 grams Safale US-05
1-2 weeks primary (TBD)
2-4 weeks secondary with 0.5 oz UK FG (8.1%) dry hopped for last 5 days.
OG - 1.062
FG - ~1.016
IBU's - 69.9
Looks delicious, but 5 oz of hops in 5 gallons... ouch!
Yeah. It is awesome when someone posts asking for help/suggestions and, after a few people take the time to do so, they just do what they were going to do anyways without taking any of that to heart and/or posting comments about our suggestions.
Your recipe looks good. Should be pretty hoppy. Holding back the bulk of the extract till the end will deff help your hop utilization. Thats what I would recommend with the recipe I posted... but I just thought that was assumed so I didnt specify. Not sure about the FG for your dry-hop as I have never dry hopped with first gold. However, I would just add a full ounce.
I personally love people that respond to a 2 day old post with the absolute answer, then get p%&^(ssed off when the original poster responds with their intended plan.... imagine that, I didn't wait until GOD spoke to me with the answer. None came after 2 days, so I came up with a plan and thought I'd post it for last minute comments.
Thank you GOD... I mean noremorse1.

Are you blind? Yes, I posted it twice. I posted it in the recipe thread on a Friday, hoping to get a few critiques in time to buy ingredients for the weekend. After no takers in nearly 2 days, I stopped at my homebrew store and bought ingredients based on another recipe I found elsewhere on the web. Posted my new intentions on the Beginners page (because it actually has an audience) on Sunday morning before the brew, then updated this thread (also Sunday AM) a few hours before my intended brew...
...parden me for not checking to make sure nobody posted a follow-up at 2:03 in the morning before I bought some hops.
After I had made my ingredients purchase, was I really off key to verify a few opinions before the brew?
Sounds like some folks around here feel they can spout rhyme or reason without themselves being open to criticism...
