In order to do a full boil I want to do two 2.5 gallon IPA batches. What I am looking for are hop aggressive in your face IPAs. Not mouth puckering bitterness, but more of the hop punch/flavor characteristics. I also want to experiment with two hop profiles. To do so I am going to use the same base recipe, just different hopping schedules. (remember these are 2.5 gallon recipes)
3.5# extra light DME
.25# 40L crystal (steep)
.5# table sugar
.5oz centennial (60 min)
.5oz centennial / .5oz simcoe (10 min)
.5oz centennial / .5oz simcoe (5 min)
.5oz centennial / .5oz simcoe (flameout)
1oz centennial (dryhop)
.5oz simcoe (60 min)
1oz citra (10 min)
.5oz simcoe / .5oz citra (5 min)
.5oz simcoe / .5oz citra (flameout)
1oz citra (dryhop)
IBU's on both to around 75. Going to use US-05. Is this too much sugar? I want good attenuation and a dry finish. Also what do you think about the hops. Too much? Too little? Overall recommendations are needed, I really want two great IPA's whose flavor stands up to quality commercial examples.
