Hi everyone, the following recipe is one I just made, it has finished fermenting and will be bottled this weekend. The hygrometer sample tastes amazing already, I cannot wait to taste after a few weeks to a months conditioning.
Taken straight from Beer smith:
Batch Size: 6.60 gal
Boil Time: 60 min
Mash time: 90 min
Fermentation: Ale, Single Stage - 7 days
Equipment: Pot and Cooler
Ingredients
6 lbs 9.6 oz Wheat Malt, Ger (2.0 SRM)
4 lbs 6.4 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
2 lbs 3.2 oz Caramunich Malt (56.0 SRM)
8.0 oz Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM)
2 lbs Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM)
0.70 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] - Boil 30.0 min Hop 6 16.6 IBUs
0.35 oz Galaxy [14.00 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 7 4.2 IBUs
0.35 oz Mosaic (HBC 369) [12.25 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 8 3.7 IBUs
0.35 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 9 3.9 IBUs
0.70 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 10 4.0 IBUs
1.0 pkg Safale American #US-05
Gravity, Alcohol Content and Color
Est Original Gravity: 1.066 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.018 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 6.4 %
Bitterness: 32.3 IBUs
Est Color: 12.4 SRM
Measured Original Gravity: 1.068 SG
Measured Final Gravity: 1.010 SG
I know the IBU on this a pretty low for an IPA but I find in this case (so far anyway) the bitterness is just nice, I could handle a little more bitterness but I will experiment in future batches with more. In this batch I am also not dry hopping, I will make a future batch and dry hop for 7 days with:
10g Simcoe
10g citra
10g Galaxy
10g mosaic
Just taking small steps to find out exactly where I hit my limit and over power things
Theres a great bar called Bent Spoke here that makes great beer and they are nice enough to list the hops they use on their beer menu, it really helps when I need ideas to spend some time there.
Cheers
