Hey all. Hope your playoff Sunday is filled with good brew and friends. I am preparing a recipe and would like some input from others out there. I have already ordered from NB the following for a hop bursting IIPA.
Centennial 2oz
Amarillo 2oz
Summit 2oz
Dry Hopping variety TBD
Wyeast 1272 American Ale
I am looking for a citrus/fruit hops profile with enough malt backbone and sweetness to counter the bitterness from the centennial. I am thinking Pale 2 row base, Caramel 60 for color and sweetness, and carapils for the head. If anybody has tried Squatters Hop Rising, I am looking for similar flavor but only have a 5gal MLT (round Rubbermaid) to work with. I can get 12lbs of grain into the mash with about 3.5 gal strike water @152 degrees. I'll sparge to get to 5.5 gal pre boil. Topoff when cooling wort to ferm temp to get 5 gal after boil and hop additions. I have most of my routine set and working for me just need advice on late hop additions (when/how much) and any specialty grains outside of the base.
Cheers
