I'm coming to you all to look for wisdom. I wrote my own recipe once or twice... they were bad. I've made a new recipe now and i want your opinion. It's based off of a recipe i've been brewing for a while, but i want to try hop bursting, so i'm using it as a starting point.
Here's the original recipe:
8 # 2-row
2.5 # Munich Malt
.5 # Crystal 70L
.13 # Chocolate Malt
.5 oz Black Patent
1 oz willamette 4.8% pellet 60 min
.75 oz centennial 9% pellet 30 min
.5 oz willamette 4.8% pellet 20 min
mash at 154 for 60 mins
45 IBU
Now, I want the new one to be a bit maltier, have the same abv, be much hoppier, have a bit more mouth feel. Also there was a taste i like in the background of that beer that i can only describe as toasty which i want to bring out a bit. here's what i wrote up.
7 # 2-row
2.5 # Munich Malt
1 # Crystal 70L
.5 #Toasted 2-row
.5 # Flaked Oats
.13 # Chocolate Malt
.5 oz Black Pattent
3 oz Willamette 4.8% 12 min
3 oz Centennial 9% 6 min
1.5 oz Willamette 4.8% 4 min
1 oz Nugget 13% 4 min
Mash at 158 for 60 min
72 IBU
So i figure this beer will smack you in the face with hop aroma, and have some nice maltyness to balance out the tastes once you start drinkin it, and be rounded out with better mouth feel from the oats. I know it may not be true to the IPA style between the colour it'll have and the oats in it, but it's my wish list in a beer... i think. Or have I gone horribly wrong here.
What do you all think?
