Hi guys. I designed an IPA recipe which came out really well except for the body/mouth feel aspect. The head retention was really good though. Actually too good. The initial foam was out of control. This may be because I added too much conditioning sugar though.
Anyway, I had a trained beer judge try it and he agreed. I am assuming I need to add some carapils/dextrine to correct the mouthfeel, but i'm not sure how much given the recipe. I am not sure what percentage of the grain bill it should be. Here is my recipe for 10 gals, thanks for any help:
20 lbs Pale Ale
2.5 lbs Munich Malt 10L
1.5 lbs Crystal 10L
2. 0z Warrior 90 min
2.0 oz Simcoe 20 min
2.0 oz Chinook 10 min
2.0 oz Cascade 5 min
1.0 oz Cascade 0 min
1.0 oz Chinook 0 min
1.0 oz Simcoe 0 min
2.0 oz Chinook dry hop
2.0 oz Simcoe dry hop
Yeast WLP001
Mash for 60 mins at 152 degrees
