    All my IPAs taste the same

    4 WEEKS!!!?? Try more hops, dry hopping every 3-4 days for a week or two. I have even dry hopped in my keg and that works well. Remember, IPAs are enjoyed young my friend! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    American Pale Ale Winnie the Pale Ale

    My first thought was, this looks like a bad ass recipe...my second thought wasn't this the guy who posted the IIPA recipe with conan yeast...? Yup it is. Again, it's hard to believe nobody is responding to these brews, maybe are styles are unique compared to others. How do you like the...

    American IPA Re-balanced IPA

    I'm on board with your ideas, we think the same I feel. Like that you use sugar as an adjunct, it's a must for IIPAs. What temp are you mashing? I am going for 153. If you would like to try another dank IPA...use 2 row or Maris otter, wl007, warrior for bittering at 45, simcoe and citra at...

    American IPA Re-balanced IPA

    I like the piney resinous IPA, so they will be interesting! I usually go with dry English ale when I am going that direction so let me know how it goes. Are you going to use white wheat...and tell me how these oats make a difference? Excited to work together with different ideas on this...

    All my IPAs taste the same

    Ya, good point on the bittering, maybe I should had mentioned gravity...if your gravity is 1080 +\- use at least 2 oz on every addition..I like to use 3. You probably wondering why so much...I like to brew more double IPAs so to balance the hops and malt a guy needs waaaaayyyy more hopps than...

    All my IPAs taste the same

    Lots of great advice...I have brewed a bunch of IPA with great success...here is my advice, 2 row ya maybe...I prefer Marris otter, use adjuncts, 1lb Belgian candied sugar for a 1060 wort...look the ratios up for this, it helps ease the yeast transition during the first fermentation phase. I...

    Double IPA Big Bruiser's Imperial IPA

    Unless you want it sweet I would mash at 150 maximum...I like the 95min mash time. At 150 the body will be lighter and the beer will turn out drier due to the amount of fermentables. Also, use adjuncts...I would use 1-2lb of sugar/clear Belgian candied sugar. I would also whack it with 3 oz...

    Safale US-05: Slow Starting?

    This is a great thread...I actually was kinda wondering the same thing my self this morning after brewing a session IPA @ 1.061 Gravity. I love this yeast strain, it allows the hops and malt to shine. Its works great in nearly any beer style and condition, especially IPA's and Pale Ales...

    Double IPA Grapefruit IIPA

    I brewed a 100% brett 644 IPA recently with galaxy and citra hops....I could have possibility been one of the best beers I have ever had. Excited to see you going out brewing brett IPA's. My next brett IPA is going on nitro...never heard of it, but you soon will see.

    Student of Brewing!

    Lucky bastard... I would brew a IPA with Mosaic, galaxy, and citra hops (dont hop anything more than an 1oz at boil and make 1 oz addition at 30. Whack it hard from 15-10-5-0-dry hopp with your desired hops) It makes for a smooth, non harsh bitterness with tons of aroma and smooth...
