| Beer: | Jim's IPA | Style: | India Pale Ale | |||||
| Type: | All grain | Size: | 5.5 gallons | |||||
| Color: |
|
Bitterness: | 60 IBU | |||||
| OG: | 1.061 | FG: | 1.010 | |||||
| Alcohol: | 6.6% v/v (5.2% w/w) | |||||||
| Water: | Lincoln, NE tap water | |||||||
| Grain: | 11.5 lb. American 2-row .75 lb. American victory 1 lb. American crystal 10L .5 lb. British crystal 70-80L |
|||||||
| Mash: | 67% efficiency | |||||||
| Single infusion. Held 60 min at 155° Ratio of 1.8qts water/lb grain. (good when you want a lot of crystal malt flavor in your finished beer) Mashed out at 170° 10 min. | ||||||||
| Boil: | 60 minutes | SG 1.061 | 5.5 gallons | |||||
| 1 tspn Irish moss 15 min. | ||||||||
| Hops: | 1.5 oz. Northern Brewer (7.7% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 5 min.) .5 oz. Simcoe (11.6% AA, 5 min.) .5 oz. Cascade (aroma) .5 oz. Simcoe (aroma) |
|||||||
| Yeast: | White labs California ale. Pitched with a 1 qt starter made 3 days prior. | |||||||
| Log: | Held in primary fermenter for 4 weeks. NO SECONDARY. After 1st week, I added a pre-boiled muslin bag containing the .5 oz Simcoe and .5 oz cascade. | |||||||
| Carbonation: | 2.6 volumes co2. I know this is a bit more than recommended for an IPA, but I like a little more co2 in my hoppy beers (really makes the aroma come out) | |||||||
| Tasting: | Great all around IPA. Careful, the 6.6%/vol will sneak up on you! I may try using a bit more victory malt and a bit less light crystal next time I make this recipe. | |||||||
