I brewed a PM/extract IPA a while ago. It came out good but could use a little more flavors. I am thinking of tweaking it to bring the flavor levels up to my pallet. Here's the original recipe with my tweaks in red
1½ # 2-row
¼# German Munich
½# Crystal 60L
¼# Maris Otter
2.5 gallon steep at 155º for 45 min, then sparge with 170º ½ gallon.
Boil with 6.6 #LLME (9.9#)
and 1.6 # ALME
HOPS>>
.5 oz Centennial & 1 oz Simcoe @ 60
.5 oz Cent & .5 oz Simcoe @ 30
.5 oz Cent , .5 oz Simcoe & .5 oz Amarillo @ 15 (1 oz. each)
.5 oz Cent. & 1.5 oz Amarillo @ flame out (1 oz more each)
Dry hop @ 14 days with 1 oz. Amarillo ( 3 oz.)
Wyeast 1272 smack pac yeast
I am looking for the body of the original brew with a greater hop flavor and aroma. I've been spoiled by HopSlam and am looking for that grapefruit, tropical fruit flavor.
I would appreciate any tips or critiques that y'all may offer.
TIA,
