Hello all,
I'm fairly new to brewing (but my father has recently opened a brewery). Anyways I've brewed with him and his recipes but I am trying to fly the coup and see what I can do without the master.
I love Sculpin's Grapefruit IPA and would absolutely love to make something semi-similar. As with most IPA's the grain bill isn't overly important. I will be doing an extract version this time, for time sake, until I perfect this recipe.
This is what I got so far for a standard 5 gallon batch:
Grain Bill:
8 lbs extra light DME
1lb Munich
1lb caravienna
1.5lb crystal 15L
1lb corn sugar
.5lb multidextrine
Hop Schedule:
Beginning boil:
2 oz Soracha Ace
.5 oz Citra
Mid-boil:
1 oz Amarillo
1 oz Cascade
Flame-out:
1 oz Nuggett
1 oz Centennial
1 oz Citra
1 oz Galaxy
Dry-hop with:
2 oz Galaxy & 2 oz Simcoe for 5 days.
I thought about adding grapefruit zest in the dry-hop bag, but thinking I might forgoe that because I'll get enough grapefruit in the hops Ive selected. I'm learning about hops and alpha acids now, I'm thinking this will be about 85 IBUs and about 8% ABV. But my calculations for IBUs could definitely be a little off.
I'm rambling now but I know my hop profile is a little unique when looking at others recipes so any kind of feedback or suggestions are welcomed! Thank guys!
