Yo! I brewed a IIPA about 6 weeks ago and it's fantastic. So far, everyone is asking me to brew it again, so I figure that it will likely be one of my regular brews. Now, I made the recipe for my gf's birthday, because the girl loves her hops, so I'd like to keep it a birthday tradition brew. My birthday is coming up so I want to brew it again but to try and tweak it a bit. I'm thinking of keeping the recipe the same, but using a Begian Ale yeast strand. I love Stone's Cali-Belgique, so I was influenced to try this out on my recipe. What do you guys think?
11.8 lbs 2-row
.8 lbs German Munich Malt
.8 lbs Carmel 40L
.8 lbs Cara-Pils
1 oz Chinook @ 60
1 oz Chinook @ 45
1 oz Chinook @ 40
1 oz Centinnial @ 5
1 oz Simcoe DH
Oh, and since I made the black IPA (also based on Stone's brew), how would a belgian yeast strand sound in that? Just a thought.
