Ok, here goes my first shot at brewing an IPA. How does this recipe for a 5 gallon batch sound:
12lbs 2-row
2lbs munich light
0.5lbs crystal 40
Willamette 1.5 oz @60min
Cascades 1.5 oz @60min
Willamette 1 oz @20min
Cascades 1oz @20min
Willamette 1 oz @10min
Cascades 1oz @10min
Willamette 1 oz @Flameout
Cascades 1oz @Flameout
Cascades 1oz Dry Hop for 14days after 7-10days
Mash around 150-152 for 60mins, double batch sparge, boil for 60mins, ferment using S-05. According to BMW BrewBuilder (don't have access to real software at work), this should give me an OG of about 1.065 at my efficiency, and around 64IBUs. Ideally for the hops, what I'm going to do is measure out the required amounts of Willamette and Cascades, mix them thoroughly and then add the required amount of "mixture" at the appropriate times. So each addition might have a tad more of one or a touch less of one.
Fermentation would be in the low 60s for 7-10days, dry hopped in secondary for another 14 days with an ounce of cascades. From there to the keg and it waits for it's turn on tap.
Any thoughts? Changes? OMG IT'S CRAP??? Constructive (or heck destructive) critcism is highly encouraged.
