Vienna Gambit IPA

[dragonfyre]

Hey everyone,

This is my next IPA recipe, but I am torn: do I go with Vienna malt as my base or a combo of Munich and Vienna as my base? The whole goal of this recipe is to produce a "German IPA". What do you all think? This is a 2.5 gallon BIAB recipe.

I like to mix Vienna and 2 row/pale malt in my APAs, IPAs

with 20 pounds of base malt I like 16 pounds of 2 row and 4 pounds Vienna

gives it a nice toastiness

all the best
