I saw "Vanilla Pepper IPA" in a signature once and after PMing the guy decided that a Vanilla IPA sounded interesting.
Because I don't want to possibly ruin a ton of beer, I plan on splitting the batch and putting half of it in a couple beans or some extract after fermentation.
For 12 gallons,
24lbs 2-Row
4 lbs C-20
60 minute hops 2oz Galena
30 minute 1 oz Cascade, 1 oz Amarillo
15 minute .5 oz Cascade
10 minute .5 oz Amarillo
5 minute .5 oz Cascade
0 minute .5 oz Amarillo
Should be about 6.2 ABV and about 50-51 IBU
You think those hops will work together okay? Think they'll complement an addition of Vanilla? Am I crazy yet?
Thoughts?
