Going for a fruity IPA, any feedback would be much appreciated! First time with a grainfather…
This will be a 5 Gal batch...
Grainbill:
12 lbs of 2-row pale malt
1 lbs, 2oz of light Munich
Hops:
2oz of Cascade (boil 45min)
2oz of Citra (Whirlpool)
2oz of Centennial (dry hop)
Yeast (Dry):
2 packs Safale US-05
Using a grainfather/conical fermentor:
Mash in at 150F, for 75 mins
Remove grain basket, Sparge
Boil for 90mins with cascade addition at 45min and Citra at Whirlpool/flameout
Cool wort, oxygenate using aeration system, pitch 2 packets of dry yeast and then dry hop the centennial once I hit the correct gravity and I drop the trub. After another week or so, will transfer to Keg.
1:Anything glaringly wrong with the recipe/process?
2: Should I mash out?
3: Should I toss some (1 or 2 oz) of hops in the keg?
4: Is 2 packets of Yeast an overkill, will 1 suffice?
Any input would be useful. These are the ingredients I will use, I live in Japan so procuring ingredients takes time and cash.
Thanks in advance…
