Going to brew a single hop ipa this weekend. Please let me know what you think of my recipe. I am looking for a good, hoppy, pungent ipa with a solid malt backbone and a firm bitterness. I really do not want to make a hop juice. Would like it dry but with a good malt backbone.
I do have other specialty grains in stock so I can use some others. (honey malt, vienna, caramel 60, 80 etc).
Zeus's Thunderbolt IPA
OG: 1.067
FG: 1.012
IBU's:71
Mash: 151-152
11# Rahr 2 Row
1.5# Munich Dark
.50# Wheat
.50# Caramel 20L
.50oz Zeus - 60min
.50oz Zeus - 30min
.75oz Zeus - 20min
1.0oz Zeus - 10min
1.0oz Zeus - 5min
1.0oz Zeus - 1min
2.0oz Dry hop
Wyeast PC 1469 West Yorkshire - (Got about 78-79% attenuation on last brew)
From Wyeast:
This strain produces ales with a full chewy malt flavor and character, but finishes dry, producing famously balanced beers. Expect moderate nutty and stone-fruit esters. Best used for the production of cask-conditioned bitters, ESB and mild ales. Reliably flocculent, producing bright beer without filtration.
Attenuation 67-71%
Alc. Tolerance 9%
Flocculation high
Temperature Range 64-72°F (18-22°C)
What would you change?
