English IPA
This is a very nice down-the-middle English style IPA. Very earthy compared to American versions.

| OG: | 1.061 | FG: | 1.014 | |||||
| Alcohol: | 6.1% v/v (4.8% w/w) | |||||||
| Water: | Savannah tap | |||||||
| Grain: | 8 oz. American crystal 120L | |||||||
| Steep: | Steep for 30 min. at 155° in 2.5 qts. | |||||||
| Boil: | 60 minutes | SG 1.076 | 4 Imp. gal. | |||||
| 8 lb. Light dry malt extract | ||||||||
| Hop additions at times noted. Irish moss at 15 min. | ||||||||
| Hops: | 2 oz. Target (11% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Fuggles (aroma) |
|||||||
| Yeast: | WL London Ale. 1L starter @ 36 hours. | |||||||
| Log: | Primary for 7 days. Secondary for 8 days. Temp. mid 70's. | |||||||
| Carbonation: | 3/4 cup priming sugar. | |||||||
| Tasting: | Bitter from the get go. Aroma, flavor and aftertaste. Definitely an earthy taste from Target/Fuggles hops versus citrus of an American-style IPA. Could probably have dry hopped in secondary with more Fuggles to get even more aroma. Has turned out to be quite quaffable. Another keeper. | |||||||
