American IPA My 2-time gold winning American IPA

[Shenanigans]

I'm going to do a split batch of this sometime soon.
I'm stocked up with a load of different hops that I have never used before.
I'll do 5 gallons the same as the original recipe but I'd like to use something different for the other 5 gallons.

I'd like to try Summit and Aurora (super styrian) plus one more hop from the following:

Columbus, Citra, Galaxy, Falconer's Flight, Nugget, East Kent Goldings

Any opinions on which would work best and which would be the best choice of for dry hopping?

Thanks!

Just had a homebrew IPA that used Galaxy for dry hopping. It was a solid IPA, but the Galaxy made that one the best smelling beer EVER.

Sounds promising. I just remembered that I have 3.5oz of Belma in my hops freezer too. I read on a thread here that Belma and Galaxy go well together.

So maybe a combo of Belma, Galaxy and Aurora?
I wonder how that would work.

I have never done a 90 minute boil before, how much water should I dough-in, add after the mash has completed before vorlauf, and then add for sparging? What should my target volume be before the boil? I am doing a single-infusion mash and shooting for 5 gallons post-boil. Thanks!!

I like to use this one. It takes a while to dial in your system, but I like to add a few degrees to my temps

anyone ever turn this AIPA into a Jalapeno AIPA?

 

[PackerfaninSanDiego]

I've made this brew twice and both times they were delicious. Just finished the Jalapeno Cream Ale recipe from HBT and that is also delicious. I think my next attempt with this recipe will entail jalapenos. What do you think?

Hi,
I'm preparing to make this beer with small modification and I have one question.
How long should the beer stay in bottles after bottling to get the proper co2 level and flavour?

Thanks in advance for answer.

Just tapped my first keg of this yesterday, and man is this a great beer! I made a 10 gallon batch, exactly as listed. Everything went perfect, and fermented at 68 for 9 days, then dry hopped for 5. Put into two kegs, and force carbed at 40 PSI for 24 hours and it was DELICIOUS last night!

Pretty impressed at how fast this came around. Just about 2 weeks from grain to glass. I will for sure be making this one again, excellent IPA

Stored at 70F, this will probably be carbonated after 2 weeks plus 24hrs in the fridge. Sometimes it needs another week. It will still be good at 3 months, but the sooner you drink it, the "juicier" those hops come across.

I've brewed this twice already with minor modifications, I must say, this is an amazing beer. OG on 3 batches of 1.068 and FG of 1.010 Thanks. I only dry hopped for 3 days with Citra.

Phenomenal! I took a gravity reading at 8 days and after tasting I am going straight to keg. This is so good I drank 2 glasses from the primary. Well done to Enohcs!

Had this alongside with a sculpin, and I thought this beer was much better. Thanks OP for sharing this AWESOME recipe! This will be my go to from now on when I want a killer ipa! Brew this one peeps

Question, I put this recipe into beersmith, but had to convert it to metric as I'm based in Sweden. After I entered all the hops, including the 14 day dry-hopping I ended up with an IBU of 34, which is way off what the recipe says on the first page. As far as I can tell I've entered all the amounts completely correctly. Is this a Beersmith thing? Should I continue with the recipe as is or scale it up to the correct IBU that is listed in the recipe?

Does anybody know the aau's of the hops used in the original recipe? I couldn't find it in a search and don't want to have to read this entire thread.

As it happens, I still have the original ingredients written down.
Chinook was 15%
Willamette was 4.6%
Cascade was 4.7%

Brewed this last weekend for my first ever home brew. It smells fantastic fermenting I am super psyched to try a taste test in a few weeks. I made many mistakes (it was my first brew after all) yet I think I'm still going to have a very good beer from this. Thanks again for the recipe Enochs!

 

[PackerfaninSanDiego]

I've brewed this twice. Very nice beer, goes down smooth and gulpable. Is that even a word? Thinking about turning my next batch into a jalapeño AIPA. Anyone have experience with this recipe and adding peppers?

 

[A2HB]

What do you mean like dry hopping the finished beer with peppers or putting them in the boil or where do they come into the process?

I'll probably just go with the same process as the jalapeno cream ale recipe

 

[PackerfaninSanDiego]

a friend of my SWMBO, gave us some roasted New Mexico Chilli Peppers.....was thinking of maybe using them instead of the jalepeno. yes or no?

My first ever batch of beer, thanks to this thread! I can finally RDWAHAHB and I'm super happy about it! :rockin:

 

[PackerfaninSanDiego]

my new mexico chili pepper AIPA......turned out....spectacular....a tad bit hot for me, but every else loves it..I did not dry hop

 

[Tonybaldeagle]

Just brewed this with a few tweaks based on available hops and it was superb! Only problem is I can't stop drinking it and it's only been in the bottle for a week. Didn't dry hop but love every drop.

 

[nmelione]

I noticed OP has 65 IBU's. Im getting around 80. Is anyone else getting higher IBU?

 

[JJ900]

Packerfan, new mexican chiles usually have fantastic flavor - did any of that flavor come through in your beer?
