Hello!
I'm planning some "almost single hop" IPAs, and would really appreciate some critique on this recipe:
2,00 kg Extra Light Dry Extract [Boil for 60 min] (5,9 EBC) Dry Extract 44,4 %
2,00 kg Extra Light Dry Extract [Boil for 15 min] (5,9 EBC) Dry Extract 44,4 %
0,25 kg Caraamber (Weyermann) (70,9 EBC) Grain 5,6 %
0,25 kg Carared (Weyermann) (47,3 EBC) Grain 5,6 %
20,00 g Admiral [15,30 %] - First Wort 90,0 min Hop 33,3 IBUs
10,00 g Aurora [5,80 %] - First Wort 90,0 min Hop 6,3 IBUs
30,00 g Aurora [5,80 %] - Boil 15,0 min Hop 5,1 IBUs
30,00 g Aurora [5,80 %] - Boil 5,0 min Hop 3,2 IBUs
15,00 g Aurora [5,80 %] - Boil 0,0 min Hop 0,0 IBUs
15,00 g Aurora [5,80 %] - Dry Hop 5,0 Days Hop 0,0 IBUs
1,0 pkg Nottingham Yeast
6 gallons (I might scale that down)
OG 1.064
Est FG 1.016
IBU 55,5 (Rager formula, according to BeerSmith)
Steep grains in 1.5 - 2 gallons of water at 160 F for 20 minutes.
Does this look good? It's based on/inspired by TheJadedDog's "All Amarillo IPA" (can be found in the Recipes section).
I'm mostly unsure about the amounts of Caraamber/-red. Also, I'm not sure if First Wort Hopping is worth doing in an extract beer?
I've read about some IPAs out there hopped only with Aurora, and they get pretty good ratings on ratebeer etc. I chose Admiral for bittering because of it's high AA.
Also, if this looks good, would it work to substitute Aurora for e.g. Cascade (or whatever else hop)? I'm considering doing several batches with only one hop for flavor/aroma, to educate myself on the characteristics of each hop, but I also want the beers to be good and drinkable and all that.
Big thanks for any input/critique!
