I was thinking of brewing his, but Austin home brew does not have centennial hops so I was thinking 2 oz cascade in the kettle and 1 0z willamette dry hop, will that be sufficient?

 

[mrkristofo]

I'd dry hop with Cascades over Wilamettes, personally. They'll keep the citruisy character that you're looking for more than the Wilamettes, which are a breed of Fuggle.

 

[EdWort]

Amarillo would be a good substitute, but watch your AA's.

 

[hopsalot]

can you dry hop with pellets or just leaf?

 

[EdWort]

I dry hop with pellets in a 3" stainless herb ball in the keg.

Ed.

Nice recipe. Simple and looks like it is going to taste great. An EdWort Classic in the making I am sure.

Q: Why 05 and not Notty? I know you are a big fan of the Notty.

Where are you getting Centennial? Did you have a stash of that too

Thanks Ed.

 

[EdWort]

Safale 05 is the Wyeast 1056 Chico strain. It makes a great IPA.

Yes, I have a stash of Centennial too. I picked up a pound of it a while back since this recipe uses 6 oz for a 10 gallon batch. I'll have to subtitute Amarillo when I run out.

 

[tgrier]

Ed.

I think I am going to brew this for my next batch.
Northern Brewer has Centinnial for 6:75$ an oz.. wow! ..

I think I am going to go with Amirillo as you suggest.

I like how you approach recipes... simple, straight forward and with an eye on cost.

I will let you know.

Edwort, thanks for the recipe, looks tasty! Couple of questions for you:

I only have a 5 gallon MLT, and if I stick with a mash thickness of 1.25 qts/lb that means I'll have a total volume of 5.1g for the mash. Is this the mash thickness that you use, or would you go with a higher/lower thickness? Also, you mention that the safale 05 is the same strain as Wyeast 1056...anything wrong with just using the 1056? Thanks!

Check out HomebrewMart.com for hops. I was there over the weekend in San Diego and they have Centennial for $2.47 per ounce in 2 ounce bags.

They actually have a bunch of different hops. I snagged enough for 3 batches. Whoo Hoo!

You will need a bigger MLT to mash this puppy as I use 1.25 qts/pound thickness.

Wyeast 1056 should be fine.

For us Noob's, could you give me an extract recipe (w/ steeping grains), as I still am not sure which grains can/cannot be steeped?

Use 6.6 pounds of DME and steep the Munich and the Crystal.

 

[scinerd3000]

why do you mash for 90 minutes instead of 60? what does a longer mash achieve in this case?

 

[EdWort]

I like to make sure such a large grain bill is fully converted. It also gives me more time to do other things.

 

[bob1852]

Ed,

what kinda sparge do you use? I just did this recipe with a double batch sparge (no mash out) and the OG was about 1.054. Granted, I'm new to AG, but just curious as to your technique.

btw - someday, everything is gonna be: EdWort's xxxx (e.g. EdWort's apfelwen, EdWort's Haus Ale, EdWort's IPA, EdWort's Bank, EdWort's grocery store, EdWort's car dealership, EdWort's golf course, etc, etc, :rockin::rockin::rockin

 

[EdWort]

I do about 3 sparges for a 10 gallon batch due to the size of the grain bill and my 10 gallon MLT. I also use 5.2 buffer for my water.

 

[JBrady]

just ordered the ingrediants for this brew, it will be my 4th attempt at anything. first brew was a oatmeal stout, after that its been edworts apfelwein, edworts hefe, and now edworts ipa. thanks mr. ed for the recipes.

 

[Flic]

I just bottled EdWort's Haus Pale this past week and I'm planning to do this one as my 2nd AG next weekend. What kind of pre-boil volume would I be looking for with this since it is a 90 minute boil?

BTW- I couldn't get Centennials but Austin Homebrew has a Centennial-type pellet blend consisting of 70% Cascade and 30% Columbus for an AAU of 7.7%....

Thanks EdWort for the great recipes!!

 

[FreakinA]

I love all your recipes so far Edwort. Any idea of what an extract version of this would be?

As he mentioned on the page before:

"Use 6.6 pounds of DME and steep the Munich and the Crystal."

 

[EdWort]

As he mentioned on the page before:

"Use 6.6 pounds of DME and steep the Munich and the Crystal."

An added note is that Austin Homebrew sells Munich LME, so get a pound of that and just steep the crystal. Do a full boil and you are good to go with the hop additions.

 

[FreakinA]

I wish it were possible. The reason I cant do all grain is because I have no place for a turkey fryer and my stove is POS. I figure Ill just add the hops at the same basic times but with 2 gallons, I mean, how off could be the beer really be? Thanks for the help EdWort.

 

[BeerPressure]

a 90 minute boil?

the hop schedule starts @ 60. Boil w/ nothing until theres 60 minutes left? Am i correct or is there an error in the recipe?

Yep. 90 minutes, so wait 30 minutes after the boil starts.

I brewed this recipe several weeks ago. A week in primary and two-weeks on the dry hop, its been bottled for 1 week now. I bottled a couple swing tops so I could monitor carbonation and conditioning by taking little tastes over time. damn this is good, probably one of my favorite brews so far. People always ask me if I homebrew to save money...we all know that is an extremely loaded question. However, when I end up bottling 23 22oz bottles of a beer like this the economics of it seem to make more sense, considering a 22oz of good microbrew IPA normally costs at least $5. Can't wait to have those bottles ready for the new year---I will probably brew this recipe again when I get my kegging set-up.

Hey Ed,

Is the "pale" you used 2row, US Pale Malt, or an English Pale? I buy Maris Otter in bulk and was thinking about dropping the Munich and bumping up the % MO to cover gravity points if you use 2row.

Just regular 2 row pale.

Ed-This is a fantastic beer! I subbed the Centennials with Amarillos and it was delicious. It is amazingly balanced and very flavorful (not just bitter). I plan on repeating this with different 'IPA hops' in the future. It is very encouraging to be able to make an excellent IPA with only 4 oz. of hops!
