Hey everyone - I've been disappointed with my last couple IPA's and want to give it another go. My past IPA's were bitter and really didn't showcase the flavor/aroma hops I was going for. I'm starting to suspect my water might be part of the problem, but I'm going to go down that road for the next brew (reading about it this week gave me a migraine). Here you go:
12lbs - 2 row
.50 - munich
.75 C40
.50 Carapils
.50oz Columbus at 60 (LHBS dude recommended moving this to 45)
.50 Columbus at 20
1oz chinook at 10
1oz Cascade at 5
1oz cascade at FO steep for 30
1oz chinook at FO steep for 30
1oz Calypso (my LHBS was out of centennial and suggested this) at FO steep for 30
2oz Centennial (if I can find some) DH
WLP090
Mash at 149 for 60
Batch Sparge.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
Chris
