So brewing up a 10 gallon batch of Red IPA with a buddy this weekend. Initial grain bill idea below - any suggestions or criticisms very much welcome!
If my LHBS has Galaxy hops available I'm thinking of trying an all-Aussie/NZD hop schedule but plan to head there with a back up plan (in which case anything goes). Any suggestions on AUS/NZD hop and/or American hop schedule? Thinking a 1:1 BU/GU ratio so aiming for about 65 calculated IBUs.
22lb American 2-row Pale
1lb Munich
1lb CaraRed
12oz Crystal 40
8oz Biscuit
4oz Roasted Barley
8oz Flaked Oats
Hops: TBD (thinking a good amount of Whirlpool hops and/or hopback to get some big hop flavor)
Yeast: Either WLP001 or SAF-05
