Alright guys check my math here and offer insight. I made an IPA once about 3 years ago and completely blew it. I think it was a combination of missing my OG, over doing the bittering hops, and not being prepared for a bitter beer. I have since honed my IPA taste and I am trying to go after a Sweetwater IPA clone... I've ordered some ingredients and was hoping to have my hopping schedule critiqued. Any advice is welcome, here is the recipe, doing a PM for now till I have more time to get all the equipment out.
For a 10gal batch ~ 11gal in the fermentor:
13lb Light DME
1.5lb Caramal 80L
1lb munich
3oz - Simcoe - 60mins
4oz - Amarillo - 15mins
2oz - Chinook - 0 mins
4oz - Chinook - Dryhop
Years - Nottingham
Brewmaster's warehouse calculator has this at:
OG: 1.059
IBU: 72.5
SRM: 10.22
I almost think I need to order another pound of DME to bring the gravity up a little higher, but my question is on hop schedule, does this look okay or should I move it around some.
