Does this even exist?
Thanks!
This would be a winner:
17lbs 2-row
8oz Victory
8oz Crystal 40
1lb Dextrose
4oz Warrior @ 90
1oz Citra @ 30
2oz Simcoe @ 15
2oz Simcoe @ 0
2oz Amarillo @ 0
2oz Centennial @ 0
Dry Hop:
2oz Amarillo
2oz Citra
2oz Simcoe
1oz Centennial
Divide those hops into 4 additions. Add them once every 5 days for 20 days total.
There are three critical things to an IPA this big:
A. You need to pitch A LOT of heathy yeast. That doesn't mean pitch onto a cake, the yeast will pickup a lot of the bitterness, and you'll have a less bitter beer, but you need like a 4-5QT starter, or 2.5 packs of dry yeast.
B. You need to mash VERY low like 148* and make sure this beer dries out. Under 1.014 would be the goal. You absolutely don't want this to finish at 1.018+
C. You need to dry hop the crap out of it. 1-2 ounces is no where near enough. Add your dry hops in multiple additions and use like 7-8oz (not joking).
FYI: I don't understand why most homebrewers can't write recipes with hop additios more than 1 ounce per variety. I know i can be guilty of it myself, but I still find it funny.
Did you brew this ever and if so how did it turn out?
Did you have to age it at all or drink fresh?
