Grain Bill
8lb Maris Otter
2lb Vienna
1lb White Wheat
1lb Carapils
.5 Munich
.5 Golden Naked Oats
.5 Acid Malt - I wanted to note something here...I just bought a very nice digital PH Meter mostly because I am getting very serious about my mash PH; and, my starting tap water PH in Aurora, CO is exactly 8...the 1/2 lb dropped this perfectly to 5.34, very happy about this.
HOPS
60min - 5ml hop shot = 50IBU
15 - 1oz each Lemon Drop and J-Lime
10 - 1oz each Lemon Drop and J-Lime
5 - 1oz each Lemon Drop and J-Lime
0(15min hop stand) - 1oz each Lemon Drop and J-Lime
Dry hop 4-5 days - 1oz each Lemon Drop and J-Lime
Pushed through a hop rocket while serving with - 1oz each Lemon Drop .5oz Cascade
As you can see this is an experiment...I am excited to see how these hops taste and smell. I am going to explain a few things here to clarify. First the grain bill: I love a golden redish sunset look to my IPA's is the reason for the munich besides to round out the malt profile. The naked oats and wheat are mainly for a thick creamy mouthfeel. And of course the acid malt for a mash ph of around 5.3...Because if your making IPA's without checking your PH you should step your game up. Maris otter you ask??? Because it's the ****.
The reason for the 155 mash temp and 1.014 F.G. is to balance out the amount of hops with the low ABV. I want it a bit sweet to conform with the Lemon Lime I am looking for...There are no known dank hops in here.
The yeast...I am a big fan of the super yeast, this stuff can ferment a VOLVO. I really wanted to use Conan now that I have that yeast figured out but I want the hops to shine for now before I go do any of that.
The hops and oil... This will be my second time using the oil. I used 15ml = 150 IBU's in my last IPA and It didn't bitter it like I had expected. I doubt the 5ml will do much here, but I may be surprised. The hops were ordered from Yakima Valley Hops and the oil came from farmhouse brewing. I ordered oil from Yakima Valley Hops and the oil is much darker than farmhouse...that being said, I am wondering how much of a difference there is in the two.
As you can see the Information is Kind of muttled and unprofessional...a little sloppy if you will. This will be edited along the way for your convince. I hope you guys enjoy this post.
