I will be brewing over the next few days 4 single hop IPAs with Amarillo, Columbus, Centennial and Cascade(of which I have a pound of each). I haven't brewed an IPA since I started in all grain so I want to get the malt bill correct (malt bill will be identical for all 4 beers). So I wanted some input on the recipe I will be using for the different hops. I would post my results for anyone that's interested.
This is my first brew of the four I will be making later today:
Amarillo Single Hop
Method: All Grain
Style: American IPA
Boil Time: 45 min
Batch Size: 5.5 gallons (fermentor volume)
Boil Size: 6.5 gallons
Efficiency: 75% (brew house)
1.052 OG
1.008 FG
5.71% ABV
51.12 IBUs
4.26 SRM
Fermentables
Amount Fermentable
7. lb American - Pale 2-Row
1.25 lb American - Vienna
0.25 lb American - Carapils (Dextrine Malt)
0.25 lb American - Caramel / Crystal 20L
11 lb Total
Hops
1.25 @30minutes
.5 @10
.5 @5
1.25 @0
1.5 whirlpool @165
Are the hop additions too much? I really want to get the most flavor/aroma out of each of these beers.
