I've been playing around in BeerSmith, trying to come up with a recipe for an IPA. I've looked at other resources, compared other recipes and tried to come up with something that would be all right. I know I won't be able to really create a recipe until I know what all hops and grains bring to the party, but I figured I'd give it a shot.
5 gallon batch, partial mash:
Amt Name Type # %/IBU
3 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 27.9 %
1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 2 9.3 %
8.0 oz Toasted Malt (27.0 SRM) Grain 3 4.7 %
4.0 oz Carafoam (2.0 SRM) Grain 4 2.3 %
1.50 oz Summit [17.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 5 49.2 IBUs
1.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Boil 20.0 min Hop 6 12.8 IBUs
6 lbs Dark Dry Extract [Boil for 15 min](17.5 SRM) Dry Extract 7 55.8 %
1.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Boil 0.0 min Hop 8 0.0 IBUs
1.0 pkg SafBrew Specialty Ale (DCL/Fermentis #T-58) [23.66 ml] Yeast 9 -
1.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Dry Hop 10.0 Days Hop 10 0.0 IBUs
1.00 oz Summit [17.00 %] - Dry Hop 0.0 Days Hop 11 0.0 IBUs
NOTE: I have all these hops, and would have to buy the rest of the ingredients. ... I think the dark dry extract may be a little weird for this recipe, but I like a darker, more of a brown-orange IPA, and that's what BeerSmith says I'd get. ... I'm looking to brew an IPA next, so if you have any suggestions for a recipe that isn't this, feel free to let me know.
Bring on the feedback. I greatly appreciate it. (If I am way off the mark, just post this little guy and I'll get back to the drawing board!)
