Sorry for another one of these threads, but I'm trying to dial in my IPA recipe and I'm looking for suggestions. I've brewed several variations on this recipe, and all have been really good, just not perfect yet. About my setup: I do BIAB with normal mash volumes, but with a batch/dunk sparge. I use a combo of Lake Michigan and distilled water with minerals added. I'm going for a IPA with a citrus/dank hop profile with maybe a bit of pine. I realized I'm not a fan of overly floral notes in my IPA. I'm going for a bright orange color, and a crackery/ light biscuity malt background.
Here's the current recipe, I'm open to ideas. I haven't brewed this yet,
I'm doing a double dry hop, the first will be in for 4 days in bags, I'll take those out, then throw the rest in commando for 3 or 4 days then bottle. For the whirlpool, I'm dropping the temp to 180 then steeping for 20 min.
Batch size: 5.75 gal
OG: 1.065
FG: 1.011
IBU: 70
SRM: 5
ABV: 7.1
Fermentable
Golden Promise 7.0 lb 51%
2 Row 6.0 lb 44%
Carapil 0.25 lb 2%
Acidulated Malt 0.25 lb 2%
Caramel/Crystal 20L (US) 0.25 lb 2%
Hops Boil time: 60 min
Hop Amount Time
Apollo (US) 0.75 oz 60 min
Simcoe (US) 1.0 oz 15 min
Centennial (US) 1.0 oz 15 min
Columbus (US) 1.0 oz Whirlpool
Simcoe (US) 1.0 oz Whirlpool Centennial (US) 1.0 oz Whirlpool
Dry hop 1
Simcoe (US) 1.0 oz
Centennial (US) 0.5 oz
Columbus (US) 0.5 oz
Dry hop 2
Columbus (US) 0.5 oz
Centennial (US) 0.5 oz
Apollo (US) 0.25oz
Amarillo (US) 1.0 oz
Simcoe (US) 1.0 oz
I'm deciding between S05 and WLP 007 yeast
OK, so here's what I may do. I may also sub Zythos for Amarillo, as I heard the 2013 crop has some bad grassy notes. Any other ideas or recommendations? Thanks!
