Hi All
Here is my English IPA. I have some whole leaf Fuggle and Goldings I need to use.
For a 6 gallon batch:
10 lbs Pale Malt - UK
1 lbs torrified wheat
.75 lbs medium crystal - UK
.75 lbs amber malt
1.5 oz midnight wheat
Mash at 148.
1.75 oz Challenger for 60 minutes
.5 oz each fuggle and golding for 20 minutes
.5 oz each fuggle and golding for 10 minutes
1 oz each fuggle and golding for 20 minutes post boil recirculated with my hopback once it cools to 150f.
1 oz each fuggle and golding for 3-4 days for dry hop
Ferment with WLP002 or similar.
1.052 OG
~52 IBUs (aiming for a 1:1 OG:IBU ratio)
12 SRM
Thoughts?
What is the opinion on base malt for an English IPA? Pale, Golden Promise, or Maris Otter? I feel the latter two will be too rich for the style, but I could be wrong.
