Hello all, with summer around the corner (it feels like summer now in Ohio at least), I wanted to make a nice refreshing IPA. I'm still relatively new to AG brewing (2 AG and 4 extract) and even newer to recipe creation. I'm hoping to get some inputs on a recipe I drafted out for this weekend. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
What I'm looking to do here is to build an IPA that might remind someone of a peach cobbler, but more peach than cobbler. I'm looking to Maris Otter and Biscuit to give a cookie/biscuity taste to the IPA and Honey Malt to give a little residual sweetness with a bit of honey flavor. I figured I would showcase a single hop with Citra as I believe the citrus flavor and aromas provided will pair well with peach.
Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: US-05
Batch Size (Gallons): 5
Original Gravity: 1.068 (from BeerSmith)
Final Gravity: 1.011 (from BeerSmith)
IBU: 90.3
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 9.0
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14 @ 72F
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7 @ 72F (maybe longer?)
11 lbs - Maris Otter
1 lb - Biscuit Malt
8 oz - Honey Malt
1 oz - Citra - Boil 60 min
1 oz - Citra - Boil 20 min
1 oz - Citra - Boil 10 min
1 oz - Citra - Boil 5 min
5 lbs - Peach Puree - Secondary
1 oz - Citra - Dry Hop (unsure if I want to dry hop or not)
Mash at 148F for 60 minutes.
Like I said, any inputs would be great. I haven't picked up any of the ingredients yet. Probably won't go shopping for ingredients until Friday.
