German-ish DIPA

[alHiboux]

I'm thinking of doing a DIPA with mostly German ingredients, and would like some feedback on the recipe. I think it may lean a bit on the heavy IBU side, but that's what DIPAs are supposed to do, right?

Malt:
5.50 kg Pilsner (2 Row)
0.23 kg Cara-Pils/Dextrine
0.23 kg Caramunich Malt

Hops:
100.00 g Herkules [14.50 %] - Boil 90.0 min
10.00 g Herkules [14.50 %] - Boil 45.0 min
30.00 g Perle [8.00 %] - Boil 30.0 min
100.00 g Perle [8.00 %] - Boil 0.0 min

Dry hop:
90.00 g Perle [8.00 %]

60 minute single mash

Ferment with White Labs WLP001 California Ale

I'd be up for drinking it. Good luck and I'll follow to see how it turns out!

Interesting...I've fooled around making a German IPA and a German Imperial Stout. Both came out pretty good. Like you I used mostly German ingredients like Munich/Pilsner/Caraf3/German Hops and SafeAle K97 yeast.

I think if you're going to go german you can't use Cali Ale Yeast....

Yeah, that was not so clever of me. Decided to go with Kolsch yeast. Got the ingredients now, should be brewing next week. We'll see how it goes!
