I wanted to brew a Red IPA with the bulk ingredients I have stocked. This is what I came up with.
8 lbs 2 row
3 lbs Dark Munich
12 oz C-40
1 lb CaraPils
2 oz Roasted Barley
Boil hops
1/2 oz Warrior 60 mins 22.1 IBU
1 oz Simcoe 20 mins 23.2 IBU
1 oz Apollo 10 mins 18.2 IBU
1/2 oz Amarillo 1 min 0.5 IBU
64.1 IBUs
Yeast nutrient at 10 mins
Clarifying tab at 10 mins
Harvested White Labs CA Ale yeast
Dry hops
1 oz simcoe
1 oz Amarillo
For 5 days
Named the brew Free-For-All due to the last minute hop additions and working with what I had. Plus my burner was giving me issues the whole day. My regulator valve was bent so it took forever to get boiling.
Target gravity was 1.060. In hit 1.059. Beer finished at 1.013-1.014
Beer tastes great before dry hopping. Taste and smells even better after the dry hop additions.
The color isn't quite as red as I wanted it to be. It's more of an amber orange. Looks great!
The beer is in a keg and carbonating right now. In a few days I'll post a pint pic and give a quick review. I plan on letting the beer chill for a good week before fully enjoying it. I tend to just indulge over the beer right when it's carbed.
Please feel free to state your opinion of my recipe. If you've Brewed something similar please share.
