This is an IPA that has impressed friends who love IPAs obsessively and also friends who are new to the style and craft beer in general. I don't know if its because the mix of Maris Otter and 2-Row Pale, or just because there isn't an insane amount of hops; whatever it is this beer comes out super well balanced and a really nice colour! This went super fast in the kegs and was the fastest keg to kick out of my when I had it because it was the go to for anyone who came over. Last night I found a bottle buried in my fridge from the end of the keg and when I popped it open it reminded me how good it is! I do 12.5 gallon batches because it makes getting everything into two 6 gallon fermenters real easy, and from there makes it easier to rack to the kegs without picking up anything at the bottom of the carboy!
Batch Specifics:
Batch Size: 12.5 Gallons
Boil Size: 14 Gallons
Boil Time: 75 Minutes
Mash Time & Temp: 75 Minutes @ 150°F
Brewhouse Efficiency: 72%
Est. ABV: 6.6%
Ingredients:
12lbs 14oz Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM)
11lbs 2oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
2lbs 9oz White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM)
1lb 10oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM)
1lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM)
1oz Amarillo Gold [8.20%] - Boil 75 Minutes

When I've done this it usually ferments out closer to 1.009 leaving my ABV at 7.0%, but the EST ABV is 6.6%. Hope you enjoy this, I really do myself. Especially with the colder seasons upon us its a real nice one to drink! Oh, I almost forgot to add the explanation for the name! This was my first brew on the single tier system I built and the half of the final product just after putting it in the carboy is in the second picture! Live and learn
