Been thinking again (and searching) about IPA's, especially with sales and availability up. This idea came from an all Fuggle IPA I had (Shipyard IPA). Tho in my case I would use a higher AA German hop.
Has anyone ever done an IPA that wasn't American or English? Can't find any recipes such as a German IPA with Saaz.
Current recipe configuration:
German IPA
2gal batch
2lbs Light DME
0.5lb Caravienne(mashed)
0.5lb German Munich(mashed)
0.5lb German Vienna(mashed)
Grains mashed at 150*F for 60mins(starch test)
0.5oz Perle@45mins
0.5oz Saaz@20mins
0.5oz Saaz@15mins
0.5oz Saaz@10mins
0.5oz Saaz@2mins
Yeast: ? (maybe Safbrew T-58 for spicy character)Looking to use dry for $savings
OG: 1.065
FG: 1.016
Color: 12*
Bitterness: 51
So any thoughts? If this would work, I would consider IPA's from other regions as well: Ex: French IPA (rude and aromatic)
Personally, I am not familiar with most of the ingredients, but it would be fun experimenting. And in the end, it is still beer.
