Right, so here's where I'm at. I had a plan for a simple pale ale which isn't going to happen for one reason or another.
I've got 100g of Mosaic for that reason, plus a fairly basic grain bill made up of 4kg pale malt, 550g Vienna, 100g light crystal, 100g medium crystal already crushed in the bag.
So, as with most of my "I can't decide what to brew moments", I've decided to go big or go home. That, and I'm pretty keen to repitch the Ardennes yeast I've currently got dominating a Delirium Tremens clone.
With all of that in mind, I'm taking a stab at a Belgian IPA - something I've never been able to find in New Zealand.
I'd like to preface this with the fact that I've brewed for a year but never made a recipe before, so go easy on me. In terms of the hop schedule, I'm kinda stabbing in the dark (possibly poorly) based on other recipes I've seen - namely this one.
Any suggestions, go nuts (keeping in mind what I've currently got in my grain bill above).
