Hi all,
Pretty new to the forum here. I'm hoping you can help me refine a recipe idea I had. I'm interested in brewing up a batch of imperial IPA for my hophead family as Christmas gifts and had kind of an epiphany about the hop usage/schedule. In addition, i am wondering if using no crystal malts would be a good idea. I'd also like to try oaking with some French medium toast chips, inspired by the 21st amendment Hop Crisis IIPA. Can you tell me if this looks horrible?
The 4 C's of the Hopocalypse
OG: 1.080
FG: 1.014
ABV: 8.6%
IBU: 100+
Batch size: 5.5 gal.
Danstar BRY-97
Grist:
7 lbs. American 2-row
6 lbs. Maris Otter
1 lb. Munich malt
1 lb. sugar
.5 lb. wheat malt (mostly for body and head retention...open to alternatives)
Hop schedule:
1 oz Columbus FWH
1 oz chinook @ 60
Blend 1 oz each of Columbus, Chinook, Centennial, and Cascade. Add:
1 oz 4Cs @ 20
1 oz 4Cs @ 5
2 oz 4Cs @ whirlpool
2 oz Simcoe dry-hop
1 oz Centennial dry-hop
.5 oz Columbus dry-hop
Rack off and add ?? Oz oak chips for ??
Thanks everyone!
