I am going to add some wheat for additional body. It's an experiment.
Thinking this is the grain bill.
85% 2 row 10.5 lbs
5% C60 .75 lbs
10% wheat 1.5 lbs
The OG is 1.064 and FG is 1.016. ABV 6.3 and SRM: 8.26. My next questoin is how would I determine the hop schedule.
POTENTIAL SAMPLE Hop Schedule:
1 oz. Centennial (60 minutes)
1 oz. Cascade (20 minutes)
2 oz. Crystal (5 minutes)
1 oz Citra (Flameout??? - Not sure if we'll add this or not)
Dry Hop:
1 oz Cascade
1 oz Centennial
I still think 10% wheat is a bit too much- I'd use less- but it's up to you.
Now, for the hops schedule. You generally want to target IBUs of about 40-70 for an IPA. I'd go with 40 for a lower OG beer, and 70 for a higher OG beer, so with you at 1.064, I'd shoot for 50-60 IBUs. That's bitter, but not overly so, and would balance the malt nicely.
A good way to come up with the hops schedule then is to say, well, I want 55 IBUs and many hops additions are near the end of the boil, or even at flame out, in an IPA to get big hops flavor and aroma. So, the bittering charge can be a bit subdued with some IBUs coming late in the boil. I'd do something like this:
.75 oz bittering hops (60 minutes)- or the amount to get 35-40 IBUs with this addition alone
1 oz flavor hops 15 minutes
1 oz flavor hops 5 minutes
1 oz aroma hops 0 minutes
dryhop 2 ounces
There are lots of variables here- some do a big addition as 'whirlpool hops'- steeping the hops in hot wort after the boil, for example- but that is a good basic hops schedule for an IPA.
