    I'll have to try this, I have all of the hops you used and couldn't think of something to brew!

    I like the unique idea of haveing nothign before 10min and a massive dry hop. Really you could play around with the hops to get it more piney or citrusy. Personally, I'd see what a giant Mosaic dry hop would do. Did you hopstand it too?

    But why 4.6oz Columbus? Seems kinda random, was that just getting rid of some leftover?

    Most of my IPAs don't have hop additions very early-on. I sometimes bitter with a high-alpha hop (Columbus usually or Citra) but if I want to flavor with those types of hop varieties, I do and it gives me the bitterness I need even if I add massive amounts late in the boil.

    I've dry-hopped with 3-4 ounces of Mosaic in one of my Saisons and it's in-your-face. I love it. It's one of my favorite hop varieties to use for a dry-hop.

    And, yes, the 4.6 was what I had left of the Columbus.

    Sorry, i am a rookie. But, what is the reasoning behind not doing early hop additions? it seems like you have no issue netting IBUs.

    I plan to use wyeast smack packs, 1056 will work, correct?

    I think i am going to try brewing this recipe this weekend. will probably add some grapefruit in primary and make it more 'summer-y'. :mug:

    Early additions get you IBU's but no hop taste or aroma.

    Almost all my IPA's have only 20, 10, 5 and Flameout additions.

    Takes more hops per batch but you get a smoother bitterness and LOADS of hop flavors.

    Thank you for the info, besk.

    How long would you ferment this for? I saw nothing in the recipe. Brewed this yesterday.

    Aw, I must have missed it. Thank you!

    When dry hopping, do you use a bag or just toss right in? I've heard it done both ways, but i am curious.

    Toss them right in, usually. Either way will work.

    Yesterday was a big day for me. Cracked my first ipa on ipa day. Two days short of two weeks in the bottle and it's already carb'd (going to give the rest another week). Very excited to taste my progression.

    Thank you again for this recipe. I am bottling your sweatpants boner this Sunday as well. I racked a gallon over peaches before dry hopping.

    hey remmy,
    recipe looks great! i've been trying to find a piney, floral IPA recipe for awhile.
    i haven't gotten into all grain yet, so what would be a suitable extract substitute for the 9 pounds of maris otter?
    would any steeping grains be needed?
    thanks for the help!

    I brewed yesterday still trying to work on my efficiency second all grain batch. First one pretty much hit my expected gravity. I undershot it and got 1.044 for this one. If it gets down to 1.001 or 1.000 I'd be happy with a 5% IPA lol. So far the smell I'm getting from the fermentation is amazing!!! Loving the hop smells coming out already! I'm going to up the hops a little and just use a full 5 oz instead of 4.6 oz

    I'll make an attempt to convert and post the details.


    Right on. I used 4.6 because that's all I had left. Awesome.

    After having a couple of pints of a Columbus/Mosaic/Citra APA in a pub in Belfast, N Ireland i found your recipe and it looked great.

    Its now almost ready to drink and already tastes amazing. I was concerned about no early hops in boil, but it is perfectly bitter and has an incredible hop profile, pine, floral and a big citrus punch.

    Great APA recipe and one I'll be doing again.

    Good Work!
