Today I decided to keep up my brewing schedule now that I have a working sink. In an effort to finish up my Amarillos and use up some of my copious Citra, I'm making an IPA with those two.
The Recipe:
10 lb 2-row pale malt
8 oz Victory malt
3 oz Cara-Pils
20 AAU (39g @ 14.2% AA) Citra @ 60
10 AAU (26g @ 10.7% AA) Amarillo @ 20
10 AAU (20g @ 14.2% AA) Citra @ 20
10 AAU (26g @ 10.7% AA) Amarillo @ 5
10 AAU (20g @ 14.2% AA) Citra @ 5
Added the following hops on 30 November 2011:
10.7 AAU (28g @ 10.7% AA) Amarillo
14.2 AAU (28g @ 14.2% AA) Citra
1 Whirlfloc tablet @ 15 min
Wyeast 1332 - Northwest Ale
Dough-in with 14 quarts of water and mashed for an hour at 148°. Batch sparged at 170° to get 26 quarts for the boil.
O.G.: 1.056
Est. IBU: 109.7
I adjusted my malt mill today so I got my efficiency up to 76%. I think my batch sparging is affecting my efficiency negatively, so I will be sure to make sure my rollers are adjusted each time I mill grain.

This is a damn good beer.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think it turned out rather well. I may enter it into an IPA competition that's coming up in February.
