Hi guys,
Been out of the game for a bit and I want to make an IPA for my friend who's moving to town. Just making a 1 gallon batch.
Went to my local Homebrew store and he helped me cut down a recipe from 5 gallons to 1 gallon. However, when I put the grains together, i accidentally got way too much of one grain. Recipe said to get the following:
1.9 pounds of Rahr 2 row
3 oz Briess Caramel 60
1.6 oz of Weyermann Vienna
Problem is I'm almost positive i got 1.6 POUNDS of Weyermann. I milled them there, so they're all mixed together. My question is should I simply use exactly what I have and proceed as planned or only use 2/3rds of the grain?
I also picked up 1 oz Cascade and 1 oz of Centennial hops. Plan was to add hops on this schedule:
60 Minutes .2 Centennial
15 Minutes .2 Cascade
10 Minutes .2 Centennial
Flameout .2 Cascade
Any suggestions on tweaks I should make? I've never made an IPA before and only once have I done an all-grain (it was another 1 gallon batch). All my previous brewing was 5 gallon extracts.
TIA!
