Critique - late hopped all simcoe IPA

Yuri_Rage · Sep 23, 2007

I just read a thread and article about late hopping, so I created a fairly simple IPA recipe using that technique. I had an all Simcoe IIPA fairly recently, and the flavor was wonderful. I've been brewing strong beers lately, so I decided not to go Imperial with this one. The grain bill is pretty close to the DFH 60 Minute clone recipe.

Amber Malt - Roasted specialty malt used in some English browns, milds and old ales to add color and a biscuit taste. Intense flavor - so limit use. Low diastatic power so must be mashed with well modified malts.

Crystal 20 is a reasonable substitute if you can't get Amber Malt.

DFH Brewery uses it to add character to their IPAs, so I added a bit to this recipe.

Looks like a great recipe to me. Way to pimp the website

Thanks! I just like the BeerSmith brew reports, and HBT doesn't support uploading HTML. I'll put the recipe in the database here after a few more comments and critiques.

That recipe report does look nicer than Promash. Maybe Brewsmith should use Beersmith?

Which Simcoe IIPA did you have?

I did a Simcoe & Summit combo in a slight take on hop bursting (though I split the difference and went with a standard 60 min Magnum addition) that was great. Simcoe is great for dryhopping too.
