I've been wanting to brew a really hoppy IPA for quite a while and also had some hops that had been in the freezer a while that needed to be used so I figured I could combine the two and cross my fingers for a good brew! :thumb:
Recipe: Why Aye PA
Style: American IPA
TYPE: All Grain
Recipe Specifications

Batch Size (fermenter): 23.00 l
Estimated OG: 1.057 SG
Estimated FG: 1.012 SG

Estimated Color: 15.1 EBC
Estimated IBU: 61.3 IBUs
Brewhouse Efficiency: 73.00 %
Est Mash Efficiency: 80.9 %
Boil Time: 60 Minutes
Ingredients:
------------
5.50 kg Pale Malt (2 Row) UK (5.9 EBC)
0.27 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 30L (59.1 EBC)
0.25 kg Caramalt (Simpsons) (69.0 EBC)
16.00 g Columbus (Tomahawk) [15.90 %]
0.25 tsp Protafloc (Boil 15.0 mins)
35.00 g Citra [13.50 %] - Steep 30 mins
25.00 g Simcoe [12.20 %] - Steep 30 mins
20.00 g Centennial [9.00 %] - Steep 30 mins
1.0 pkg London Ale Yeast (Wyeast 1028)
65.00 g Citra [13.50 %] - Dry Hop
53.00 g Centennial [9.00 %] - Dry Hop
36.00 g Simcoe [12.20 %] - Dry Hop 7.0
28.00 g Mosaic (HBC 369) [12.20 %] - Dry Hop
Mash: 66c for 60 mins
Fermentation temp: 20c
I finally got to brew this at the third time of asking, first time I got stuck at work so didn't have time to do the brew and the second time I turned the hose on only to find out it was broken! No hitches once I finally got going though, everything went like clockwork and I hit 1.056 so only one point off target...I'm glad my efficiency problems appear to have been resolved by simply changing supplier!
I originally intended to use WLP001 for a cleaner taste but the batch I'd harvested was dodgy so I reused the WYeast London Ale harvested from my last brew, not ideal but I really like the slight fruitiness you get from the London ale yeast. Fermentation was well under way this morning, I'll dry hop on Sunday night I think assuming I'm near terminal gravity.
My supplies are depleted and I'm off on holiday in a few weeks so my next brew day won't be for at least 6 weeks! :-o
