Hey y'all,
Kinda new to formulating my own recipes still and this will actually be my first IPA so I would appreciate any help you can give me for this recipe
I'm hoping for a bready/biscuity beer with a nice hop presence that isn't overwhelming or too bitter. Basically I'm hoping for a balanced beer that if anything is on the malty side.
Here it goes:
5 Gal Batch
All Grain BIAB
Est OG 1.070
Est IBU 50.3
Est Color 13.1 SRM
Est ABV 7.3%
Yeast: Wyeast 1335 British Ale II
Fermentables:
10 lbs Marris Otter (74.1% Total)
1.5 lbs Biscuit (11.1% Total)
1 lbs Crisp British Crystal 45L (7.4%Total)
.5 lbs Crisp British Amber (30L) (3.7% Total)
.5 lbs Victory (25L) (3.7% Total)
Hops:
1oz Target 11%AA First Wort Hops
1oz Fuggle 4.5%AA Boil 20 min
1oz Bramling Cross 6%AA Boil 10 min
.5 Fuggle Whirlpool/Steeping
.5 Bramling Cross Whirlpool/Steeping
.5 Fuggle Dry Hop
.5 Bramling Cross Dry Hop
One thing I'm worried about it that I'm adding too much hops. Having never done an IPA (much less an English style one which are less hop forward) I'm worried about overdoing it. I still want hop presence and flavor and I heard that the yeast can subdue that.
Thanks everybody!
