Create a beer based on the name: Natural 20 IPA

Hackinjeebs · Jul 22, 2011

I am a nerd. through and through. I want to make a beer that deserves the title of:

Natural 20 IPA.

Where should we start gentlemen(and ladies : D )?

I must not be nerdy enough to understand this...

Hackinjeebs · Jul 22, 2011

Role playing games. DnD for the most part. Natural 20 means a critical success. I am looking to create an IPA that I will think critical success with every drink. Something hoppy but not overly so. I am looking to split this into a 2 pot BIAB 5 gallan batch. I haven't done it before. I am relatively new to brewing but am looking to get into the idea of creating recipes.

I know I am being very vague with this idea, but am hoping someone might guide me a bit. Like I said, I am new.

Well first off do you brew all grain, partial mash or extract?

cadarnell · Jul 23, 2011

just a base grain and crystal 20 for the grist perhaps ??? IDK

gclay · Jul 23, 2011

use 20 hop additions.

If your going for an IPA this is what I would do for an all grain recipe:
basemalt
munich in the 20 L range
crystal 20
20 ibus bittering at 60 min
20 ibus at 15
20 ibus between 1-5 minutes left

With an OG of 20 Plato

Ravio11i · Jul 23, 2011

Use natty light for brew water...

thisone · Jul 23, 2011

Only add hop additions starting at 20 minutes

Pivzavod · Jul 23, 2011

Boil for 20 mins

mewithstewpid · Jul 23, 2011

i liek the 20 hop additions

or 20 types of hops?
20 oz of hops (yeah)

make it so the color is 20L

If you're brewing AG, go with 20# of grain, including Crystal 20L. Shoot for an OG of 20 plato (~1.083), and use hop additions that are 20IBUs apiece. (You can try doing 20 additions as well, but that'll certainly add up if you do both!) Shoot for a FG of 1.020 and 20L color. Primary for 20 days, secondary for 20 as well, with 2.0 oz of dry hops.
