I'm trying for a really damn strong (both hop and ABV-wise) IPA. I think I've got something that resembles that:
Batch size: 5 gallons
Boil Volume: 2.5 gallons
6 lbs. dry amber malt extract
3 lbs. CaraPils
1 oz. pellet Chinook boiled for 60 minutes
.25 oz. leaf Perle boiled for 50 minutes
.25 oz. leaf Perle boiled for 30 minutes
.5 oz. leaf Perle boiled for 10 minutes
1 oz. leaf Centennial boiled for 10 minutes
TastyBrew says:
OG: 1.074
FG: 1.019
IBU: 72
SRM: 10
ABV: 7.1%
Some sort of American Ale yeast...I used US-05 for my amber ale and it turned out great, so probably that. With an OG like that, it'll need a starter.
Probably primary ferment for a week and a half or two weeks, and then in the secondary for two or three weeks to let all those hops mellow out.
How's that sound? I think the FG is a bit high...
