American IPA Bee Cave Brewery IPA

[billslaw1024]

Brewed this on January 3, 2016 with another member of my home brew club. O.G. came to 1.070. I fermented with Notty at about 57 degrees (basement is pretty cold this time of year) and it fermented it out in less than a week. My friend fermented with Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale yeast. Looking forward to seeing the difference the yeast makes.

My home brew club also used this recipe for a base malt experiment last year. Substituting Vienna for the 2 row made a fantastic porter too.

Thanks again for this great recipe, Ed.

Just brewed this beer today. Was my first time doing a BIAB and my first IPA and my OG was 1.062. Will let you all know how it turns out! Smells amazing!!!

First time brewing this recipe and I am very pleased with the outcome. I made Edwort's amazing Hefe last year so I knew this would be good. Simple and damn good! I hit my numbers on this one trying to get familiar and knock the rust off since it's been a while since I brewed.
I want to make this again and tweak a few things at a time to get familiar with how mash temps, different hops, and grain changes effect the outcome.
Anyways, here are a few pics of the Edwort IPA I made.

I recently brewed this beer for my nephew's wedding that was held this last weekend. He had asked that I brew him an IPA somewhere in the 75 IBU range. I said that I could do that and settled on Ed's Bee Cave Brewery IPA.

I subbed pilsner malt for the 2 row 'cause- well, 'cause that's what I had on hand. I also changed up the Centennial hopping schedule a bit by using 0.5 oz as a first wort addition, 1 oz at 15 min, 2 oz at flame out and another 2 oz dry hop. I fermented with Wyeast 1056.

After kegging and carbing, it was time for the required quality control session. I grabbed a Stone IPA (70 IBU) and a Stone Hop Revolver (Ella hops) (80 IBU) from a variety pack I had recently purchased. I drank the Stone IPA first which was just like I remembered- hop forward and pretty one-dimentional. Then I sampled mine. Slightly more hoppy and more complex. Much better malt presence, a really well balanced beer. Then I tried the Hop Revolver. It was really close to mine. Just a hair more bitter and different hop flavor but other other than that, very similar. So I nailed the request for 75 IBU. :rockin:

The beer was a big hit at the wedding. I got tons of positive feedback but my favorite comment came from a girl standing in line behind me as I was pouring a cup for myself. She asked if I knew what brewery it was from. I replied "Why, do you like it?" She says "Yeah, I love it. It tastes really familiar but I just can't place which brewery it is from." I casually said "It's from my brewery." She gives me a blank stare, so I continued "I'm a homebrewer, I brewed this beer." She said "Wow, it's amazing!"

Thanks Ed, for sharing your recipe. It's definitely a keeper.
