Alright, so the last time I tried to wing a recipe I screwed up. I did an IPA using 1/2 lb of Centennial hops in the boil but used nothing but 1 lb of CaraAmber as my grains. Just an extract recipe. It has been about 5 weeks in the bottle and is pretty much too sweet to drink. It attenuated down to about 1.020 from 1.063.
Need some help with a good partial mash recipe minus the hops, I think I can come up with the hop schedule. Also, I plan to use mainly Summit hops and possibly adding some Simcoe or Amarillo.
I am looking for something that will allow the hops to really come through and stand out. A SG of about 1.055-1.062 should suffice. Here is what I came up with, please help me make this a winner.
6lbs Gold LME
3lbs 2-row
1lb German Dark Munich
1lb Rye Malt
1.5oz Summit @ 60
0.5oz Amarillo @ 20
0.5oz Amarillo @ 15
0.5oz Amarillo @ 10
0.5oz Amarillo @ 5
1.5oz Summit @ 0
From Beer Calculus:
OG: 1.067
FG: 1.017
IBUs: 74
Will probably use US05, Wyeast American Ale II or WLP001. I have had a problem with my IPAs in the past attenuating, any advice? I guess making a huge starter couldn't hurt, I have only made 1L starters in the past.
