Hi all,
Looking for advice on a single hop galaxy IPA. This will be the first recipe that I've formulated myself (previously I've been using Jamil's recipes, with a few modifications), so I'd like anyone's advice on my grain bill/hop schedule.
Here goes:
Batch Size: 5.50 gal
Boil Size: 8.58 gal
Boil Time: 60 min
Brewhouse Efficiency: 67%
Est O.G.: 1.066
SRM: 7.2
IBU: 64.3
13.5 lbs Canada Malting Superior 2-Row (90%)
12.0 oz Munich Malt (5.0%)
8.0 oz Crystal 40L (3.3%)
4.0 oz Crystal 60L (1.7%)
1.00 oz Galaxy (15.2% AA) 60 min
1.25 oz Galaxy 15 min
2.00 oz Galaxy 0 min (flame out)
2.00 oz Galaxy Dry Hop (7-10 Days)
Safale US-05 Yeast
Mash temp: 154 F for 60 min
I've found that most of my ales fermented with US-05 or 1056 have fermented a bit on the dry side, hence the slightly increased mash temperature. In the past I've mashed at 150-152 and most of my beers come in a little less malty than I'd like. I'd really like the galaxy hop flavours and aromas to shine with this brew, so that's why I've got a big aroma addition and a big dry hop.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance!
