I've really been enjoying reading the forums and finally found a reason to post.
I'm trying to put together an American IPA and here's what I came up with for a recipe:
Malts:
6lbs 10oz Light LME
1lb crystal malt (52-72L) -steeped at 150F for 30min
Hops:
1 oz Chinook - 12% AA - 60min
.5 oz Amarillo - 9.2% AA - 35min
.5 oz Amarillo - 20min
.25oz Amarillo - 5min
.25oz Amarillo - 1min
.5oz Amarillo - dryhopped in secondary
Yeast:
WLP001 - California Ale
according to beer calculus:
OG - 1.050
FG - 1.012
12 SRM
65 IBU
5.1% ABV
This is only my third brew- but I'm shooting for an IPA with a nice citrus character and some malt but not finishing too sweet.
