Hello all,
I am brewing a black IPA and I'm working with hops that I haven't used before so I'm looking for some help. Where do you think I should put the individual hop additions? The recipe is below with the hops listed. Thanks!
6 lbs. Pale 2-row
9.6 ounces crystal 40
4.8 ounces Midnight Wheat
2.5 ounces Chocolate malt
On hand I have the following, but please tell me if you think I need more! I am also going to dry hop, but I'll get to that on brew day.
Note: I am brewing a three gallon batch. At least I think I am. I have a 5 gallon mash tun and about a 4 gallon brew pot. I always fill the brew kettle almost to the top which is almost 4 gallons. Not sure how much I lose in the boil or anything like that. I've never really known how to figure that stuff out. For the purposes of this recipe though, I'll be brewing as if I am making a 3 gallon batch. Whatever gets in the brew pot and whatever is there after boiling is what I have to play with!
Here are the hops that I have:
1 oz. of Magnum
1 oz. of Mosaic
1 oz. of El Dorado
1 oz. Equinox
So obviously, the Magnum are going to go in @ 60 minutes, but how should I split up the rest? And do I have enough hops to make a hoppy black ipa?
I'm thinking:
1 oz. Magnum @ 60minutes (maybe less? I haven't had the chance to do the calculations)
.5 oz. Equinox @ 30 minutes
.5 oz. Equinox @ 15 minutes
1 oz. El dorado @ 15 minutes
.5 mosaic @ 5 minutes
.5 mosaic @ flameout
Any thoughts?
