So I've got a bunch of hops laying around that I'm looking to use up soon (.5 lb Caliente, .5 lb Centennial, and 1 lb Belma). I've also got half a sack of munich 20L that I need to get rid of, so I came up with this recipe for a session IPA.
My goal is to make a session beer that's not too light in body and full of hop aroma. I think Munich as a base malt will help with the body a bit as well as the flaked oats and high mash temp.
As far as the hop schedule goes I couldn't really find a way to use a 60 minute addition at all while keeping the IBUs in a reasonable range for this small of a beer, so I've thrown everything in at 5 and 0 minutes. I don't know a whole lot about Belma or Caliente, but from what I've read I think they should blend nicely together.
I'll be brewing on my 3 gallon electric BIAB system.
Any thoughts?
