Any body ever try Jamil's APA recipe from "Brewing Classic Styles"? He has two in there. I am considering the first one for my next brew. He says it is “a slightly drier beer with a gentle bready toasty, biscuity malt background and very little or no crystal malt flavor.”
However, I don't have the hops he uses, so I am looking for advise in the hop schedule.
I will be scaling everything up to a 25 gal. batch size. Basically, I am just making 4 times the recipe, as my bre-boil gravity is about 28 gals and Jamil’s is 7 gals.
Here's the recipe as printed, for anybody who is interested:
OG: 1.056
FG: 1.013
IBU: 40
Color: 6
ABV: 5.7%
60 min boil
7 gal. Pre-boil volume.
70% Efficiency
Mash at 152
Grains:
82.2% American 2 row (11.3#)
5.1 % Munich Malt
5.1% Wheat Malt
7.6% Victory (28L)
Hops:
60 min. Horizon 13% aa, 34.2 IBU (.66 oz.)
10 min. Cascade 6% aa, 2.4 IBU (.25 oz)
10 min. Centennial 9% 3.6 IBU (.25 oz)
0 min. Cascade 6% 0 IBU (.5 oz)
0 min. Centennial 9% 0 IBU (.5 oz)
Wyeast American Ale, 1056 (will pitch on existing cake in fermentor)
Ferment @ 67
OK -so, here's the question...don't have the Horizon or Centennials...
I have new Cascades (5.6% AA, 1 lb. – Thanks Niko!) If I go with ONLY cascades, it will take the whole pound (to get IBU’s in the same range for each addition). I am thinking I will just buy an ounce or two of a high AA hop (could be horizon or centennial if he has them) at my LHBS has when I go pick up the grain, and add these for the 60 min. bittering addition. This will allow me to save an ounce or so of the cascades for a mild dry hop (not in original recipe.)
I guess my question here is, when I scale up the 0 Minute hops to my batch size, do I simply mutiply the weight by four? (Since IBU’s are basically nil at this point ?)
Thanks, all. Looking forward to brewing on Saturday!
