I'm looking to mix up our recent string of Cascade heavy IPAs:
Type: All Grain
Batch Size: 5.50 gal
Boil Time: 60 min
Est Efficiency: 75.00 %
11 lbs 2 Row (2.0 SRM) 85.30%
8.0 oz Amber Malt (22.0 SRM) 3.90%
4.0 oz Caramel 20L (20.0 SRM) 1.90%
4.0 oz Caramel 80L (80.0 SRM) 1.90%
0.5 oz Citra/Galaxy - First Wort 13.4 IBUs
0.8 oz Citra/Galaxy - Boil 60.0 min 32.0 IBUs
0.7 oz Citra/Galaxy - Boil 15.0 min 13.9 IBUs
0.5 oz Citra/Galaxy - Boil 5.0 min 3.9 IBUs
1.5 oz Citra/Galaxy - Flameout 0.0 IBUs
2.0 oz Citra/Galaxy - Dry Hop 5.0 Days 0.0 IBUs
1.0 pkg Irish Ale (Wyeast Labs #1084)
Gravity, Alcohol Content and Color
Est Original Gravity: 1.059 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.015 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 5.8 %
Bitterness: 63.3 IBUs
Est Color: 7.1 SRM
Mash at 152.0 F for 60 min
I'm planning to rack it onto six pounds of frozen cubed mango in secondary and let that settle down before dry hopping. If all the sugars ferment out this should boost the ABV by ~1.3% (according to the label)
Thoughts? Will the total of three ounces each of Citra and Galaxy on top of that much mango be overpowering? Are there other hops that could add some depth without being distracting? I considered Amarillo, Motueka, Mosaic or El Dorado (and am certainly open to using them) but Citra and Galaxy sound the most specifically mango-y.
How about the malt bill? I really liked amber malt in our Dogfish head 90 minute clone and I thought the 20L and 80L might be needed to balance the tartness of the fermented mango, but I'm worried it might finish too sweet.
Thanks!
