Hey everyone,
I've got a recipe idea I'd like to try. I love rye IPAs, especially with the citusy hops. I've been really curious about Citra and Sorachi Ace, and a friend recommended blending them with Amarillo. So, to give it a try, I came up with this recipe:
Recipe Specifications
--------------------------
Batch Size: 5.25 gal
Boil Size: 6.01 gal
Estimated OG: 1.059 SG
Estimated Color: 9.9 SRM
Estimated IBU: 70.0 IBU
Brewhouse Efficiency: 80.00 %
Boil Time: 60 Minutes
Ingredients:
------------
Amount Item Type % or IBU
1 lbs Rice Hulls (0.0 SRM) Adjunct 9.09 %
4 lbs Amber Liquid Extract [Boil for 20 min] Extract 36.36 %
2 lbs Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 18.18 %
2 lbs Rye Malt (4.7 SRM) Grain 18.18 %
1 lbs Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 9.09 %
8.0 oz Rye, Flaked (2.0 SRM) Grain 4.55 %
8.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 4.55 %
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] (60 min) (First WoHops 30.4 IBU
0.50 oz Amarillo Gold [9.30 %] (10 min) Hops 5.5 IBU
0.50 oz Citra [13.40 %] (10 min) Hops 7.9 IBU
0.50 oz Sorachi Ace [10.20 %] (10 min) Hops 6.0 IBU

0.50 oz Citra [13.40 %] (5 min) Hops 4.3 IBU
0.50 oz Sorachi Ace [10.20 %] (5 min) Hops 3.3 IBU
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [9.30 %] (Dry Hop 3 days) Hops -
1.00 oz Citra [13.40 %] (Dry Hop 3 days) Hops -
1.00 oz Sorachi Ace [10.20 %] (Dry Hop 3 days) Hops -
Mash Schedule: Batch Sparge, Decoction Mash Out
Total Grain Weight: 7.00 lb
----------------------------
Batch Sparge, Decoction Mash Out
Step Time Name Description Step Temp
60 min Saccharification Add 9.45 qt of water at 165.1 F 154.0 F
15 min Mash Out Decoct 3.21 qt of mash and boil it 170.0 F
I've read that citra and sorachi seem to get pretty mixed reviews, especially when they are used for bittering, and even those who enjoy them recommend not going overboard in the boil. For those of you who like them, is an ounce each during the boil, and an ounce each dry hop going to work well, or is even that too much?
Any other tips/comments are welcome, too.
Thanks!
