Went into the homebrew store with a couple of recipe ideas from the internet and worked with Dan to make an extract recipe for a big IPA.
13 lbs Pale Malt Extract
1 lb Crystal 37 L
2 oz Zeus whole hop [16.4%] @ 60 min
.5 oz Centennial whole hop [9%] @ 15 min
.5 oz Centennial whole hop [9%] @ 10 min
.5 oz Centennial whole hop [9%] @ 5 min
1.5 oz Centennial whole hop [9%] @ flameout
1 oz Centennial pellet hop [9.5%] Dry Hop
1 package Nottingham
23L ~6Gal batch size.
I ran it through beer calculator:
OG - 1.082
FG - 1.020
IBU - 58.7
Color - SRM
couple of questions I have:
1) My brewpot is only 16 quarts. So i can usually only do a 3 gallon boil. LHBS recommended to get a bigger pot. How necessary is that? Why?
2) I also think they recommended a second pkg of Nottingham but not sure why?
actually i have more questions but i'll wait for a few thoughts to trickle in first.
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated!
