Clean Out the Fridge IPA
As the name implies, this IPA recipe was formulated using only the grains, hops, and yeast I had on hand. The brewing bug grabbed me at around 11a.m., and there was no time to make a run to my LHBS for ingredients. Hence she's not exactly a traditonal IPA hop-wise. The hop schedule was inspired quite loosely by recipes for Surly Furious clones I've seen around the web.

15 min Irish Moss addition The final .5 oz. Columbus hop addition is a 5 minute addition (not technically an aroma addition), but there was no room for it in the recipator's hop schedule. Effect on bitterness will obviosly be minimal. 1 oz. of Mt. Hood at flameout for aroma |
