Lockdown Leftover American IPA recipe

[GertSels]

Hi everybody,

I'm planning a new brewday next weekend with some leftover ingredients. Our homebrew supply stores are closed due to a new lockdown in Europe so I would like to brew something with my leftover ingredients. I'd like to brew an American IPA with some pilsner malt. I'm a little worried about the hop schedule (note: the amounts used are all I have, except for Centennial). I'm using the metric system so I'm sorry for the weird numbers in my recipe! You guys have some advice?

Keep all the Citra and Simcoe for the Dry Hop.

How much more Centennial do you have?

If you’ve got a bunch more just use the Centennial throughout the hotside and do one big dry hop of all the Citra, Simcoe, and some more Centennial. You get way more bang for you buck in a dry hop than in a WP addition. .4oz is not nearly enough for a dry hop for an American IPA. 4oz isn’t technically enough in my book either but it will make a better beer than adding that Citra/Simcoe in the kettle or whirlpool.

I'd stay away from secondary . As for dry hopping with 4 oz . I use 5 to 5.5 oz. It comes down to your taste . I personally like whirlpooling , but thats me . If anything I'd by pass the 20 min addition and use it later .

No secondary!!!

Okay thanks! I'll skip the secondary. I have about 2.8 oz. Centennial so that seems doable.
