I'm in the process of tooling around with a recipe and wanted to get some feedback/suggestions.
Want to use Cascade and Centennials because I have a bunch of them. Would this be too much for a double IPA? With my efficiency (70-75%) i'd end up around 1.075. I can usually get 05 to attenuate around 80-85% which means an 8-8.5% beer.
This is for a 11 gallon batch.
Fermentables
20 lb American - Pale 2-Row
4 lb American - White Wheat
8 oz American - Carapils (Dextrine Malt)
1.5 lb Canadian - Honey Malt
2.5 lb Corn Sugar - Dextrose
Thinking of subbing the honey malt for crystal 20?????
Hops
3 oz Columbus - Boil 60 min
1 oz Centennial - Boil 15 min
1 oz Cascade - Boil 15 min
1 oz Centennial - Boil 10 min
1 oz Cascade - Boil 10 min
1 oz Centennial - Boil 5 min
1 oz Cascade - Boil 5 min
3 oz Cascade - Boil 0 min

3 oz Cascade - Dry Hop 7 days
Safale 05 or WLP001
