This is my first post here but I'm always lurking and picking up new and useful information. I'm thinking of brewing an imperial IPA this weekend and using all the leftover hops I have in the fridge. My concern is that it's a huge selection of hops and the flavors may get muddled in the final product. Here's my recipe and I'm open to all criticizing as my come my way.
16 lbs Pale Malt (6 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 78.0 %
2 lbs Carafoam (2.0 SRM) Grain 2 9.8 %
1 lbs Caramel Malt - 20L (Cargill) (20.0 SRM) Grain 3 4.9 %
1 lbs Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM) Grain 4 4.9 %
8.0 oz Honey Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 5 2.4 %
1.00 oz Chinook [11.00 %] - Boil 75.0 min Hop 6 30.5 IBUs
0.75 oz Magnum [12.00 %] - Boil 75.0 min Hop 7 24.9 IBUs
1.00 oz Hallertauer [4.60 %] - Boil 25.0 min Hop 9 8.5 IBUs
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 15.0 min Hop 10 7.2 IBUs
1.00 oz Fuggles [4.20 %] - Boil 15.0 min Hop 11 5.5 IBUs
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 12 8.2 IBUs
1.00 oz Mt. Hood [5.20 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 13 2.7 IBUs
I'll be pitching this onto 1056 yeast I have in primary right now.
