So I have heard some interesting things about NZ hops and have wanted to brew an IPA for a while now so here goes with my first attempt at recipe formulation modeled after a Ninkasi Total Domination clone by sub-zero. Brew Calculus is putting this at OG 1.058 / FG 1.017 with 48.2 IBU and 5.5% abv. I like the thought of an IPA with the citrus and tropical fruit characteristics of the Motueka and Riwaka. I only have pellets and am going to use some tea bags for dry hopping to contain the dissolved hop particles. Suggestions and comments about all aspects of this beer are much appreciated.
