India Pale Lager recipe?

[LampyB]

Here's the Hoponius Union recipe from August Schell @ Jack's Abbey. Published in the Jan/Feb 2016 issue of BYO.

They use a lot lower hop quantities for late additions in comparison to the recipe brewed by the OP. This appears to be much more in line with what you'd expect, instead of like 9 ounces at whirlpool! I'm sure the beer was great, but this will be easier on your wallet!

Batch Size: 5.0 Gallons (all-grain)
OG: 1.063
FG: 1.014
IBU: 65
SRM: 6
ABV: 6.7%

9 oz Spelt Berries

0.25oz Magnum @ 60 (13% AA)
1.5oz Centennial @ 5 (11% AA)
2.0oz Centennial @ 0 (11% AA) - 20 min whirlpool
2.0oz Citra @ 0 (13% AA) - 20 min whirlpool
1.5oz Centennial @ Dry Hop

Thanks for sharing that! That looks like a hoppy lager I could get behind . I've been thinking about a hoppy, american-hopped lager lately and this gives me a good starting point. Thanks again.

I'm surprised by the suggested yeasts considering Wyeast 2035 is (I think) known to come from Schell's up in New Ulm. Wyeast 2035 is an AWESOME yeast strain BTW; characteristic is an understatement - there's no missing it's presence. I may give your recipe above a shot but with 2035 since I have it cultured at the moment. Cheers!

Not to be such a Sheldon, but in what universe does one get to 65IBU's with a 5 gallon hop schedule like this:

0.25oz Magnum @ 60 (13% AA)
1.5oz Centennial @ 5 (11% AA)
2.0oz Centennial @ 0 (11% AA) - 20 min whirlpool
2.0oz Citra @ 0 (13% AA) - 20 min whirlpool
1.5oz Centennial @ Dry Hop
1.5oz Citra @ Dry Hop

I'd love to try this recipe this weekend, but jeez... this just doesn't seem right.

Perceived vs calculated ^. I'm sure that's what they mean
