That looks like it will turn into beer to me. I would personally up the 60 minute addition but I like more bitter than just about everybody. If it takes you a while to cool I guess the 20 min addition might give a lot of bitter though.

Why 90 minutes for the mash?

I don't know. I usually only mash for 60 but read a 90 minute mash may be better for IPA. I don't recall the reasoning.

EDIT: and you hit on my thinking. I'll get more IBU from late additions due to the hop stand (slower chill)?

Send me the finished product and I'll give you a full 3 page write up including 8X10 glossy pictures on how it taste.

It sounds solid though. Can't go wrong when MO,Columbus, and simcoe are involved.
I did a Smash with MO and simcoe before and it turned out awesome.

Err Day IPA. I love this beer. Holy crap I made this beer. Had my Accidental light ale before and after. Runaway Light is my new bottled water.

Yes I only have one glass.

 

[RevKev]

Well it sounded to cool and it's tasty af View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1425430245.286171.jpg just went food shopping and ended up with only beer? How does this happen

When I built a counter flow chiller I started doing 60 minute hop additions again, prior to that I was doing my first addition at around thirty and my final addition at about -5hrs, when the wort got down to about 90. I don't recall what temp you stop getting bittering from hops, but I remember being shocked how low it was and recall calculating that I could do all my hop additions after the boil of cooling in the sink. Didn't experiment with that too much as it was a read that made me built a chiller the next day.

Some of my better beers have been when I forget to heat up the sparge water in time and end up mash for 80-90 mins. I don't know why though, I am just a simple caveman brewer.

Pull of my oak-barrel aged RIS. Snowing like crazy right now calling for 2-4") and we're supposed to get ice later tonight. Followed by another 7" on Thursday.

I was guessing that it was for only having 10 lbs of MO.

No. Really just because I've never done 100% MO and was looking for input as to a good grain bill. Just 12 lbs of MO, you think, then, and forget about getting cute?

EDIT: My past IPA attempts have not been great. Those had diverse grain bills, including crystal. I was thinking simple grain bill this time.

How about
6# - 2row
6# - MO
couple oz of crystal

 

[blizzard]

See you Thursday. Twice.

I lol'ed hard enough to get a look from SWMBO.

Drinking Alaskan Tropplebock. Maybe I'll get a photo on the next pour. Or maybe I'll be too drunk.

Happy birthday Hello!!

 

[1977Brewer]

How about
6# - 2row

8 oz crystal for color and body. Use as much 2 row as you can get away with if you're as cheap as I am. All of my beers are gonna be pale. Even the stouts.

I liked your original grist anyway.

I cannot imagine you would taste a difference between all mo or 75% mo with the balance 2 row. Your original plan looks fine to me. You have enough hops in your plan that a little bit of crystal for body, as others said, would be good... But mo has a lot going on as it is. I think your recipe will make beer, an beer is amazing.
