Hi all, I brewed the IPA below and I'm thinking about tweaking it a bit next time.
OG: 1.064
FG: 1.016
ABV: 6.2%
Bitterness: 76.5 IBUs
Color: 9 SRM
Fermentables
Vienna Malt Grain 1.000 lb
Pale Malt (2 Row) US 13.500 lb
Honey Malt 8.000 oz
Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L 8.000 oz
Total grain: 15.500 lb
Hops
Warrior 1 oz @ 60 42.3 IBUs
Cascade 1 oz @ 20 9.9 IBUs
Columbus 1 oz Boil @ 10 15.3 IBUs
Chinook 1 oz @ 5 7.1 IBUs
Columbus 1 oz Boil @ 0
Dryhop 1oz Columbus, 1oz Chinook
Yeast
WLP001 - California Ale Yeast
I'm pretty happy with the grains, and I liked the beer. Chinook and Columbus is one of my favorite combos.
I want to try and make it more like some IPA's I've had with a really dank (the almost plantlike taste, where you really GET THE HOPS) hop flavor.
I was thinking about adding Mosaic to the mix maybe? I'm a bit worried about that putting it too far towards the fruity side though. So input would be great.
I'm thinking about changing it to:
Warrior .5 oz @ 40 18.6 IBUs
Cascade 1 oz @ 20 9.9 IBUs
Mosaic 1 oz @ 15 16.3IBUs
Columbus 1 oz Boil @ 10 15.3 IBUs
Chinook 1 oz @ 5 7.1 IBUs
Columbus 1 oz Boil @ 0
Mosaic 1 oz @ 0
Dryhop 1oz Columbus, 1oz Chinook
I'd love some input, Thanks!
