Happy Spring! I've laid off the brewing for quite some time, but still enjoying our country's finest canned and bottled offerings. I have some ingredients that I am trying to cobble together for an IPA with a citrus lean on it to enjoy in the early summer, and I just might add some orange zest to compliment that. I’d like feedback on how to tweak the recipe. Disclaimer, I am a huge hophead, but I don’t want to make this too complicated. I’m trying to use up what I have in inventory, but I can get additional hops if needed.
I usually do BIAB, but I got my hands on some dry and liquid extract, which takes me back to the good old days. Haven’t done a full extract brew for so long I can’t remember.
Here’s the list:
3.3 lbs of Briess light Munich liquid extract
6 lbs Muntons dry light extract
I have a lb of 40L crystal malt
Some leftover carapils, maybe 6 oz
I have several new refrigerated S-05 yeast packettes, so good there.
I have an ounce of Cascade pellets (plus 1 oz some frozen leaf/cones)
3 oz of Citra pellets.
1 oz Amarillo pellets.
When I plug this into BrewTarget, with a 4.0 gallon boil, 5 gallon batch target size, 60 minutes, and using the 1.5 oz of Citra and 1 oz Cascade for the full boil, I get an IBU of 68, ABV of 7.9%, OG of 1.081, and an FG of 1.020, color at 13.1.
I can to get my hands on some additional hops for dry hopping, but would like some input on how much.
The FG and ABV seem high, what do you think? This is technically a DIPA.
I’ve done zest before with success, I think I'll decide on that later.
I’d like input on how you would add the late hops for maximum flavor and aroma.
Cheers!
