Long time lurker, first time poster. I am a relatively new homebrewer, I started in January with extract kits from the LHBS, upgraded to a BIAB set up in May. I have lost count by now, but I would say I have brewed about 20 different beers so far. In this time I have fallen in love with IPAs. So far all my recipes have used either Wyeast1056 or US-05, they have been great for nice clean beers. After trying Deschutes IPA Foray, I really want to brew it. The Belgian yeast adds a subtle green apple and pear flavor that really compliment the citrus flavors of the hops. This is the description they have posted online:
Malt: Pilsner, Carapils
Hops: Nugget, Amarillo, Mosiac, CTZ, Galaxy
Other: Belgian Yeast Strain
I have no idea how to turn this into a recipe... Im guessing something around 11 lbs pilsen malt, 1/2 lb carapils.
As for the hopping schedule I was hoping y'all could help me out here. I know Nugget is for bittering, but of the rest of the hops, I am only really familiar with Amarillo. Any suggestions ?
Finally the yeast...I don't know how to say this without offending some, but...I have never been a fan of the flavor Belgian yeasts bring to the table. That being said, this beer does not taste like a Belgian at all, just a very smooth aromatic IPA.
I have looked around online, and searched the forums, but I can't find anything specific about this beer. I appreciate any help y'all can provide, even if it's just speculation.
Thanks!
