This is my 3rd beer I'm brewing and I decided to step it up to something awesome since the first 2 turned out good. So a step up to the Imperial IPA style seems necessary. Below are my ingredients list. I have alot more hops than I think I need but it's mainly because the first time I went to my LHBS, they didn't have what I wanted so I bought some others. Feel free to give me your comments or any suggestions you might have. Thanks in advance!
Fermenting vol. 5 gal.
Specialty grains:
10 oz briess carapils
6 oz of crystal light
Fermentables:
6 lbs of CBW Pilsen Light LME
2 lbs of Muntons Light DME
2 lbs of Muntons Extra Light DME
0.75 lbs of corn sugar
Hops: (I'm thinking 60 min boil)
2 oz Columbus - 60 min
2 oz Amarillo - 30- min
1 oz centenial - 5 min
2 oz simcoe - flame out
1 oz Citra - flame out
1 oz Galaxy - flame out
Dry Hop:
1 oz Citra - 7 days
1 oz Centennial - 7 days
Yeast:
US-05 yeast. (I'm skipping the starter)
Again, this is more hops than I think I need but these are just the hops I have and the times that I would use them if I were actually going to. So I suppose my goal here is to get a lot of earthy flavors from the Columbus and then all the fruity and piney of the four late addition hops would give it the flavor profile i was looking for which is bitter with some earthy flavors (columbus) and very piney (simcoe) and very fruity (citra, galaxy).
