I plan on brewing the Northern Brewer Double IPA extract kit in the following week or two and I had some questions. Here's the inventory...
0.75 lbs Dingemans Caramel Pils
0.25 lbs Briess Caramel 120
3 lbs Pilsen Malt Syrup (60 minutes)
9 lbs Pilsen Malt Syrup (15 minutes)
1 oz Yakima Magnum @ 13.6% (60 min)
1 oz Centennial @ 9.5% (30 min)
1 oz Cascade @ 6.9% (10 min)
2 oz Glacier @ 6.1% (0 min)
1 oz Cascade @ 6.9% (dry hops)
I would like to do a full boil, and with the huge late extract addition I have no idea how much malt extract I should boil for 60 minutes to achieve the target bitterness (and I have no idea what the target bitterness is supposed to be). I tried using the bitterness calculation at howtobrew.com and came up with these rough numbers (I didn't factor in the specialty grain):
12 lbs for 60 min was app. 59 IBU
6 lbs for 60 min was app 86 IBU
3 lbs for 60 min was app 105 IBU
I was thinking it was supposed to be somewhere around 90 IBU's, so around 4 or 5 lbs for 60 minutes? Any advice from those with IIPA's under the belt would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
