Hi guys,
I recently thought of brewing a Session IPA, so an IPA with low alcohol and high bitterness/hoppiness. I've read some topics on this forum
Finally - a good "session" IPA
American IPA Purring Kitten Session IPA
"Session" IPA's - let's hear it!
Session IPA recipe advice
Some of the malts in the recipes are (in my hometown) more difficult to acquire and I had some leftover malts I was hoping to put in use.
Can you please comment on what you think of my recipe:
63,3% Pale Ale Malt (7 EBC);
20% Münich(15 EBC);
11% Pale Crystal Malt (60 EBC);
5,6% Cara-pils (4 EBC);
how do you feel about the combination of flavours? Should I up the Cara-pils to get more thickness. I am looking to make a dry, malty sessionable. I worry if the maltyness in my recipe is enough and if the hops don't pop out too excessively (mainly because of the Nelson Sauvin which is a power house)
Batch is 6.34 gallons (which is 24 liters). I am not doing any water handling. The water from mytap is pretty clean and solid, so no issues there.
EBC 17 (i would like to stay under 20)
IBU 41 (i would like to stay under 50)
Mash @ 153 for 60 minutes
OG = 1.041
FG = 1.010
ABV = 4.0%
I am thinking about cooking for 75 minutes
Hops
a. First wort hop
0,38oz Pacifica (8.2 IBU)
0,26oz Summit (15.8 IBU)
b. flavour hop (last 20 minutes)
0,71oz Pacifica (7.9 IBU)
0,35oz Nelson Sauvin (9.2 IBU)
c. Dryhop for 5 days
2,11oz Pacifica (0.0 IBU)
2,11oz Nelson Sauvin (0.0 IBU)
how do you feel about the combination of flavours? It's fruity and bitter. But I have not used this combo before and never used Pacifica and Summit. I also worry about balancing
As a yeast I am thinking about using US-05 or WLP001 (but I believe them to be from the same strain). I also read about the English strains that are recommended
Hope to hear from you!
Thanks, guys!
