I don't brew IPAs all that often because everybody brews IPAs and I just like to try brewing different stuff. I was recently preparing to brew an APA using 8# 2 row, 2# Munich 10, 1# C-20, 5 ozs. Azacca, and WLP090 San Diego. A couple days before brewing, I got 4 ozs. of Waimea in the mail for renewing my AHA membership. So I went back to my LHBS, bought 3# of pale ale and upscaled to an IPA. Might be my best batch yet!

8 lbs. of 2 row
3 lbs. pale ale
2 lbs. Munich 10
1 lb. Caramel 20

1 oz. Azacca (13.8% AAU) 60 mins.
2 ozs. Azacca at 5 mins.
2 ozs. Waimea at 5 mins.
2 ozs. Azacca dry hop 4 days
2 ozs. Waimea dry hop 4 days

Mash 60 minutes at 152F
Boil 60 mins.
1 Whirlfloc tablet at 15 mins.

WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast

OG = 1.066
FG = 1.011
ABV = 7.22%
IBU = 72

I pitched at 65F and let the temp rise naturally to ambient (68-70F). Was fully attenuated after 4 days. Dry hopped on day 7. Cold crashed on day 11. Fined with gelatin on day 12. Bottled on day 14.
