I've had a tickle in my brain about doing a Centennial IPA, and I ended up playing with the Founder's recipes floating around here. This is not meant to be a clone, just an "inspired-by" recipe. I'm not shy when it comes to hop aroma, so I deviated a bit with amounts and especially the dry hopping, but if anybody wants to chime in with their thoughts I'd love to hear it before I brew tomorrow! I already hit the LHBS to get the ingredients and to re-stock my 2-row card, so I have the goods and they have 70 of my dollars, but this is my end-of-the-summer hurrah. I want to make it good!
(I can't figure out how to get BeerSmith to export those fancy reports everybody uses, so here goes.)
7.5 gallon batch, 80% efficiency, 60 minute boil
SG 1.071, 69 IBUs
12lbs US 2-row (65%)
2.5lbs Maris Otter (13.5%)
2lbs Cara-Pils (10.8%)
1lb Crystal 40 (5.4%)
1lb Munich (5.4%)
1oz Apollo (20.1%) FWH
1oz Centennial (10.5%) 15 mins
1oz Centennial (10.5%) 10 mins
1oz Centennial (10.5%) 5
Ferment with Nottingham, 14 days + 7 days w/ dry hops
3oz Centennial (10.5%) dry hop 7 days
1oz Apollo (20.1%) dry hop 7 days
Estimating 7.5% ABV, 8.4 SRM
Anything look awry? Should I move the late additions even further up, 15/5/1 or something? Should I add some sugar and make it a double? Because I will with the slightest provocation.
