I've been obessing over trying to make a great white IPA recipe and here's my latest one. Turned out pretty damn good if I do say so myself. I wanted it to feature this new-ish hop that I've been equally obsessed with : Hallertau Blanc. It's kinda a more clean, melony version of Nelson Sauvin.
OG/FG: 1.065 / 1.012
5lb pilsner
3lb wheat
2.5lb flaked wheat
1/2lb aromatic
1lb cane sugar
mash at 148F for 60 min
mashout at 168 for 10 min
158F seems ridiculously high to mash at for a wit IPA. I woudnt even do a stout at 158F...
@60min: 1 oz merkur (or any other high % bittering hop)
@10min: 1 oz hallertau blanc / 1 oz amarillo
@0min: 2 oz hallertau blanc / 2 oz amarillo
*hopstand - steep for 30min after flameout before chilling*
@dry: 2 oz hallertau blanc
@5min: 1 oz coriander and 1 oz orange peel
For the yeast, I've tried going with a wit yeast, but this one I did a 50-50 blend of WLP400 and Conan
