Hey everyone, I've been looking at recipes for a nice big IPA but I want to take everything I've learned so far and finally put my own recipe together. I've got a big birthday coming up this weekend so plan to brew a big beer to celebrate. Here's my starting point, so any advice/criticism is welcome...
5.5 gallon batch (6.5 gallons boil volume)
11# 2-Row Pale
1# Crystal 40L
1-1/2# Honey (boil 20 minutes)
Estimated OG of 1.070 assuming 70%efficiency.
Mash at 154°-156° until conversion is done.
I have to check what hops I already have at home, but I was thinking some Magnum, Chinook and Centennial. I'd use Magnum for 60 minutes and finish with the Chinook/Centennial on 5 minute addition and dry hop. I'll be shooting for upwards of 65-70IBU.
Pitch either S-05 or Wyeast 1056.
Thanks in advance!
