Notes


Created with BeerSmith

 

[Jrome]

It looks okay to me, perhaps the OG is a little low, might want to consider upping that bit.

Also, for an American IPA, you'll want to move and/or add some late hop additions...15 minutes, 10, flameout etc. you're going to want that aroma! Right now you have more of an English IPA I think.

 

[McGarnigle]

That's going to be ridiculously bitter...1.054 with 100 IBUs. As mentioned, push some hops later. You have no flavor hops.

Also, why the pound of pilsner malt? This requires mashing,which is fine, but I'd say either use more of it or none at all.

I found some info on how to make a beer that I liked from hawaii and we had to do a little substitution at the store, BTW I'm not 100% sure the grains went into beer smith right

1lb dingema belgian carapils 1lb
us dark crystal 120l 1lb
I was not too sure about the hop times, also thinking of removing the Cascade?

 

[Homebrewtastic]

Kill that tomahawk addition. I'd also go with Cal Ale yeast instead of that english strain.
