London RYEots IPA

[zgardener]

Here's a quick English IPA that I worked up while bored at work with a dash of rye to make it interesting, I'd like some suggestions on yeast and any other critiques or suggestions if y'all wouldn't mind

10# MO
2# Rye Malt
12 oz CaraStan (English Crystal 40)

.5 Oz Cluster @ 60
.5 Oz Cluster @ 45
1.5 Oz Fuggles @ 30
1.5 Oz Fuggles @ 10
2 oz Fuggles @ Whirlpool

Dry Hop 7 days on 2 oz Fuggles and 1 oz Cluster

Mash @ 152 for 60 min
1.25 qt/lb
Fly Sparge @ 170 to get 8 gallons of run off
90 Min boil
30 min whirlpool before chilling

I'm looking at using a 2 L starter of WLP007, I dont want any pear or apple notes like I would with 002 or 005, I'm looking for a relatively dry beer.

Shooting for about 1062 OG and finishing around 1014 FG, approx 6.3%
62 IBU

So maybe like some Target used at a lower rate at the start of the boil?

 

[hadabar]

My thought exactly...

I'm a big fan of FWH...

 

[hadabar]

Ok...I punched the numbers into alchemy...and...

Target @ 10.5% .5 oz FWH =27 ibu
Fuggle @ 4.5% 1.5 oz 30 =18 ibu
Fuggle @ 4.5% 1.5 oz 10. = 7 ibu
Fuggle @ 4.5% 2 oz whirlpool = 7ibu
Fuggle 2 oz dry hop

About 60 ibu

You could split the target addition for a 60 min addition.

Fuggle @ 4.5% 2 oz whirlpool = 7ibu
Fuggle 2 oz dry hop

About 60 ibu

I like this, thanks for taking the time. Now, with first wort hopping, I've only done it a few times, is this program assuming that the FW hops will be removed from the kettle prior to boiling, or that they are in the kettle when taking the runnings and left in for the whole boil?

 

[hadabar]

It assumes they are in there for the length of the boil...

Duly noted, thank you sir, this recipe will be 10 gallons (two 5 gallon batches) of a 40 gallon effort to supply a buddy's tailgate with some quality beer in November, wanna get this right!

 

[hadabar]

Best of luck! I might have to try this too!

 

[zgardener]

I'll let you know how it turns out, wont be brewing this for another 4 weeks, give or take, so you may beat me to the punch.

 

[hadabar]

I doubt it I got a porter and a saison ahead of it...

 

[zgardener]

Brewing today, can't wait to taste the finished product!

1 oz Target FWH/60 min (10.7% AA)
.5 oz Target 30 min (10.7% AA)
.5 oz Fuggle 30 min (4.2% AA)
1 oz Fuggle 10 min (4.2% AA)
2 oz Fuggle whirlpool (4.2% AA)
2 oz Fuggle Dry Hop

This is the final hop schedule, BeerSmith gives me 62 IBU

 

[hadabar]

Stoked...let me know how everything went...

 

[zgardener]

Moving to secondary today to dry hop with 2 oz of fuggle hops. Finished at a dry 1013, by far the best IPA I've made to date, I'll be drinking lots of this.
