Yeah I really think it's there. It takes a while for it to come together because of the corn I think. Before it's fully conditioned it tasted kinda sweet but at 3 weeks in the bottle it's a whole new world. The malt really just takes a back seat, it's there but not overbearing at all. Just...

Had a Payette Outlaw IPA last night. Tasted like burnt sugar. Kinda sad because their Rodeo Rye is pretty damn tasty.

Quick update. 3 weeks bottled. Had a bomber last night. Really tasty, though a tad too much Chinook. Maybe just 1oz total in the dry hop next time and a bit more Citra & Mosaic. I think I got a few extra points down in the bottle, it finished drier than the first couple I tried. All in all I...

I'd go with 1.5 oz of Centennial for 60 and add more late addition hops for the additional IBUs. 2.5 @ 60 may be a bit much Also looking at your grain bill, why the Amber malt? Never seen that in an IPA, it may leave it more malty and sweet. Unless of course that's what you're intending. 1...

I would probably move your 40 minute Centennial back to 60. Since you are doing a partial boil you'll lose IBUs when topping off. I do partial boils myself and have been going big on the 60 minute addition to ensure a good bitterness. Also maybe consider more hops in a 30 minutes steep...

What are you all doing for the dry hop schedule?

Brewed this on Friday. Used Patagonia Pale malt and Patagonia crystal 75. Super excited to see how it turns out :-)

Bottled on Tuesday. FG 1.014 so that puts this batch at 7.7% Ended up with a 7 day dry hop on the second stage.

I've used Comet quite a bit for adding "dankness" to my IPAs. Usually 1oz at 10 or 5 min and 1oz dry hop. It's got a very dominant flavor indeed. Adds a lot of grapefruit and pairs well with other fruit forward and citrus hops. I've never done a Smash brew with it but I say go for it! I have...

I'm in SLC and my 2nd year plants are growing like mad already. :-)

Took gravity on Friday. Sitting at 1.016, maybe because I only pitched 1 pack of US-05? I usually get 84% attenuation from my 1.055ish beers, but we'll see what happens in a few days. Put in the first stage dry hops: .50oz Citra 1oz Chinook 1oz Mosaic Will take out the first stage, then add...

Yeah I don't see flaked corn in IPAs much but it makes a huge difference! Definitely post your recipe/results when you brew it! :-)

Citra, mosaic, chinook is pretty epic. I also like Mosaic, Galaxy.

I dunno, doesn't look like too many hops to me :-) I would go for it as is!

Noticed my 2nd year Centennial with 2 shoots popping out today.

I decided I'm not the biggest fan of Columbus- certainly think it's overused. That being said, my go to for dank flavors has been a Apollo/Comet combo. Though it can get pretty heavy with the grapefruit flavor when used in late additions of 1oz per at 10 min & 5 min in a 5 gallon batch. I'm...

Ah well that makes sense. :-) Thanks for the info.

I just wanted to chime in as well. I've been doing BIAB partial mash usually with about 8lbs grain and 2lbs DME. I get my grain double milled and mash 150-151 for 60 minutes. I've noticed consistent low FG, 1.008-1.007. I have yet to try higher mash temps. I am not doing full volume BIAB...
