Hi everyone!
I was looking for some feedback/input on a recipe I've put together for a late hopped IPA. I've had some issues before with overly bitter IPAs (possibly from astringency from sparging too high and/or hop bitterness).
So I was trying to make a NE style IPA with lots of hop flavor/aroma and just enough bitterness to balance it out. Here's my recipe so far:
Brew Method: All Grain
Style Name: American IPA
Boil Time: 60 min
Batch Size: 5.5 gallons (fermentor volume)
Boil Size: 7.5 gallons
Boil Gravity: 1.049
Efficiency: 70% (brew house)
STATS:
Original Gravity: 1.067
Final Gravity: 1.013
ABV (standard): 7.15%
IBU (tinseth): 40.92
SRM (morey): 5.97
FERMENTABLES:
12 lb - United Kingdom - Golden Promise (82.8%)
2.5 lb - Flaked Oats (17.2%)
HOPS:
0.5 oz - Centennial, Type: Pellet, AA: 15, Use: Boil for 20 min, IBU: 15.82
1 oz - Amarillo, Type: Pellet, AA: 8.6, Use: Boil for 5 min, IBU: 5.97
0.5 oz - Centennial, Type: Pellet, AA: 15, Use: Boil for 5 min, IBU: 5.21
1 oz - Citra, Type: Pellet, AA: 11, Use: Boil for 5 min, IBU: 7.64
2 oz - Amarillo, Type: Pellet, AA: 8.6, Use: Whirlpool for 20 min at 180 °F, IBU: 2.34
2 oz - Citra, Type: Pellet, AA: 11, Use: Whirlpool for 20 min at 180 °F, IBU: 3
1 oz - Simcoe, Type: Pellet, AA: 7, Use: Whirlpool for 20 min at 180 °F, IBU: 0.95
2 oz - Amarillo, Type: Pellet, AA: 8.6, Use: Dry Hop for 5 days
2 oz - Citra, Type: Pellet, AA: 11, Use: Dry Hop for 5 days
MASH GUIDELINES:
1) Infusion, Temp: 152 F, Time: 70 min, Amount: 4.5 gal
2) Sparge, Temp: 168 F, Time: 15 min, Amount: 1.6 gal
Starting Mash Thickness: 1.25 qt/lb
OTHER INGREDIENTS:
1 each - Whirlfloc, Time: 15 min, Type: Fining, Use: Boil
1 tsp - Yeast Nutrient, Time: 15 min, Type: Other, Use: Boil
YEAST:
GigaYeast - Vermont IPA Yeast
Starter: Yes
Form: Liquid
Attenuation (avg): 80%
Flocculation: Med-Low
Optimum Temp: 62 - 75 F
Fermentation Temp: 68 F
Pitch Rate: 0.5 (M cells / ml / deg P)
NOTES:
Mash at 152 for 60 min
Batch sparge at 168 for 15 min
I haven't worked with Golden Promise yet, but I've heard good things. I am really going for an over the top, juicy hop flavor with a really well rounded mouth feel and nice balance between sweet and bitter, but not overly bitter. Also, I think the brewers friend calculator is off since it counted the flaked oats toward the fermentable sugars/ABV.
Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!
