Trying for a simple Cascade based IPA
5.5 gallon batch
Grains:
14 lb American 2-row
1 lb Crystal 60
Calc 0.G. @ 70% efficiency is 1.068
Hops:
1 oz Nugget (14%) @ 60min
1oz Cascade (7.5%) @ 15min
1oz Cascade (7.5%) @ 10 min
1oz Cascade (7.5%) @ 0
Dry hop with 2 oz cascade
IBUS 65-70
Nottingham ale yeast slurry repitch
primary at 64 for 10 days
Secondary with dry hops for 2 weeks
I could sub warrior for nugget but I figure not much flavor difference in bittering and it's nice to work with whole numbers rather than 0.8 oz of Warrior.
I've heard that Willamette is a nice addition with cascade. I have some on hand- any suggestions on how much and when to add it for optimal effect or will it even matter with all the bitterness?
Thanks.
