Brewed today - before the Packer game of course... ;o)
I wanted to brew an IPA (my first)...after much research and pondering, I came up with the following recipe. I started out with BYO's all grain recipe for DFH 90 minute IPA - made an attempt at converting it to a partial mash recipe, and used what hops I had available. I think in retrospect, I used too much LME - definitely too much amber...this turned out much darker than desired. Tasted the wort before pitching the yeast - it was pretty dang bitter...kind of scary...
2 lbs American 2-row - steeped to just before boil
12 lbs Amber LME
1 oz Nugget - added gradually between 60 and 35 minutes
1 oz Simcoe - added gradually between 35 and 20 minutes
1 oz Amarillo - added gradually between 20 and 0 minutes
Wyeast German ale yeast
current plan is to dry-hop 1/2 oz each of Simcoe and Amarillo
Anyone have any thoughts on this puppy?
