How's it goin everyone? I've been a long time reader here in the forum and decided I would do some contributing with my first recipe I created. There were a couple other threads about this beer with no real results posted so here is my journey...
c/p from Ithaca's website:
Flower Power India Pale Ale
Enjoy the clover honey hue and tropical nose. Simultaneously Punchy and soothing with a big body and a finish that boasts pineapple and grapefruit. Flower power is hopped and dry-hopped five different times throughout the brewing and fermentation process.
IBUs: 75
ABV: 7.5%
Malt: 2-Row, Honey malt
Hops: Columbus, Cascade, Ahtanum
Dry hop: Simcoe, Amarillo, Centennial (and there was discussion on this forum that sorachi ace is also used in dry hopping)
My Recipe:
13 lbs 2-Row Malt
1 lb Honey Malt
1 oz Columbus @ 60 Min
.5 oz Cascade @ 30 Min
1 oz Mt Hood @ 15 Min (Ahtanum substitute)
(Mash 1 Hour at 153)
Safale US-05 dry yeast (this has become one of my favorite yeasts)
I also plan on dry hopping in the secondary with 1 oz Citra (in place of Simcoe and Sorachi Ace) and .5 oz each Amarillo and Centennial.
As I said, this is my first original creation (although it is a clone) and I will be brewing friday afternoon so if anyone sees any tweaks they might make, please make any suggestions!
