Northwest IPA
I wanted to make an IPA that was going to be big on flavor and hoppiness. I decided to go big on hop bitterness in the hope that the low attenuation of Pacific Ale Yeast. Would leave a malty sweetness.
Brewer: | JNBrewing | Email: | - | |||||
Beer: | Northwest IPA | Style: | India Pale Ale | |||||
Type: | All grain | Size: | 5.5 gallons | |||||
Color: |
|
Bitterness: | 107 IBU | |||||
OG: | 1.058 | FG: | - | |||||
Alcohol: | - | |||||||
Grain: | 9 lb. American 2-row 1.5 lb. American crystal 10L 1 lb. Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils) 1 lb. Briees Special |
|||||||
Mash: | 71% efficiency | |||||||
Protein Rest at 122°f for 30 mins. (not necessary, but a habit that I am in, so I don't forget this step when using raw grain) Mash grains at 154°f for 90 minutes and sparge. |
||||||||
Boil: | 60 minutes | SG 1.051 | 6.25 gallons | |||||
Add 1/2 tsp of yeast nutrient w/15 mins. remaining in the boil and 1/2 tsp of Irish Moss w/10 minutes remaining. | ||||||||
Hops: | 1 oz. Nugget (12% AA, 60 min.) .5 oz. Simcoe (13% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Simcoe (13% AA, 30 min.) 1 oz. Nugget (12% AA, 15 min.) 1 oz. Columbus (aroma) .5 oz. Simcoe (aroma) |
|||||||
Yeast: | White Labs Pacific Ale Yeast (WLP041) | |||||||
Log: | Brewed 4/10/06. Columbus Hops and .5 Simcoe dry hopped in a sock. | |||||||
Carbonation: | Beer will be carbonated w/1 cup of corn sugar to balance out the rear mouth bitteness with a strong carbonation attack. | |||||||
Tasting: | Beer was similar to what I was expecting when I tasted the chilled wort, but I am thinking that a more appropriate Hop schedule would be: 1oz Nugget @ 30mins, .5 Simcoe @ 30 mins and then do the same at 15 mins. in the boil. This would bring the IBU's down substantially and put a little more pop in the aroma. |
