Woot, I have Friday off and am going to brew. I need recipe help. I need an APA or IPA recipe. It needs to be proven. Yes, i've made Ed's haus pale. I will list my ingredients and hops, the glacier, vanguard and half the willamette are spoken for. Also these are the hops I haven't tried yet, zeus, simcoe, and nugget. Bonus points for incorporating one or more of these. Winner to receive 2 ounces of 08 crop Cascade pellet hops! It aint much, but it's something, so get to posting your favorite APA or IPA recipe. Contest ends at midnight cst on Thursday.

Oops almost forgot, it will have to be either 05 or notties yeast.

I dont have the numbers or anything, because I just came up with this looing at your ingredients. I think it would make a good beer.

Don't care what you brew, but infect it!

Dude'l Lake Walk Pale Ale. Sub the flaked barley you have for the flaked wheat in the recipe. This is one of the best beers I have ever made, and one of the best pale ales I have ever tasted! :rockin:

Looks like you have everything to make my standard IPA. If you don't have turbinado sugar you can sub any sugar in there to help it dry out

If you toast the grains do they have to sit for a while? Or can you use them right away? I read somewhere they need to sit for a week.

My last IPA was good, but it could use a little less from the specialty grains to make it more balanced and drinkable. Here is the revised recipe:

American IPA

80% Efficiency
OG: 1.067
IBU: 70

Pale Malt 12 lbs.

Mash @ 152 for 60 min

Chinook 12.1% 1oz 60 min

I've done it both ways, and can't tell a difference, so now I just toast the night before brewday.

Here's my stab at it. Scaled version of a 10bbl batch which used to go down quite well with patrons. The scaled version took some tweaking, but I got it to the point where blind tasting couldn't tell the difference.

I would definetly suggest this too. This is a great beer. I have talked with a couple people that did not let their grain sit and it came out fine.

Thanks for all the recipes! My top 3 so far are enderwig, kingbrian, and nq3x, but it's not over keep them coming.

OK, here's my go. This is based on one of the 3 beers I've brewed (out of 100+ batches). I'll call it an APA -- it tops out right at the upper range of OG, FG, color, & IBU.

8 lbs 2 Row
1.5 lbs Munich
1 lb 60L Crystal
.5 lb Toasted 2 row (20 minutes at 350F, stir it after 10 minutes)

(Crush the toasted with a rolling pin. It doesn't need to sit except to cool down.)

Straight infusion mash at 153F for about a hour.

60 minute boil
.5 oz Nugget (60 minutes)
.5 oz Nugget (30 minutes)
1 oz Simcoe (2 minutes)
1 oz Simcoe (dry hop for final 7 days before kegging)

When I brewed this I used Bullion hops instead of Nugget, but they'll work fine swapped out. I'd use the 05 for yeast to really make it an APA.

With 75% eff, this should end up around 1.059 OG, 1.015 FG, 12.0 SRM, and 44 IBU (depending of the AA of your particular hops). All of this puts it at the absolute upper limit of, but inside, the Style Characteristics. Have fun with it if you use it.

Replace the zues with simcoe and you got yourself and EXCELLENT recipe.
Simcoe and Amarillo go really good together.

There are only a couple of hops substitutions, but they are very similar in AAU%.

This is a go-to APA at my house. First Wort Hopping and very late additions keep the IBU’s down, but the hops aroma/flavor through the roof. This one took 2nd place for Light Ales (a combined category for this particular competition) and was the top scoring APA.

If you’re a fan of Kona, this is very similar in malt profile and hop flavor. It’s pretty simple and makes the most out of your inventory of hops.
