A couple years back I worked with Mtn on an IPA recipe.  I decided I needed to bring it back but modify it a bit to accommodate the hops I have on hand, including the boatload of homegrown cascades I currently have.

 

12 gallons

TG: 1.067

IBU: 93

 

28.5 lbs  Rahr 2 Row

1.5 lbs C60

 

Mash at 151-152

 

3 oz Columbus 14.8 %AA @ 60

.5 oz Columbus 14.8% AA @45

.5 oz Columbus 14.8% AA @30

2 oz Simcoe 13% AA @5

2 oz Homegrown Cascade @5

6 oz Homegrown Cascade - 175dF Whirlpool

 

Ferment with a blob of US-05 that I made a pale ale with.

 

Dry Hop with some more cascades if it tastes good.  If they are lacking the character I want I'll hit it with something else.  Maybe pull the 3 days with one hop as it wraps up fermentation and rack to a secondary for a second dry hop.

John, do you happen to have any Centennial on hand?

 

I ask as that would probably do great in the DH, especially if you stagger the DH additions as you describe above.

 

Overall, that looks like a recipe I'd gladly drink (lots of).

No... I'm all out of cents... doesn't mean I won't order some quick... the orginal recipe was Centennial, Simcoe and Cascade in the DH.  And the 2oz of simcoe at 5 is all I have left of those too.  So... I figured burn through what I have and get new at harvest time!

 

I've wanted a 6.5 or so IPA on tap for a while.  So I'm excited... probably won't get to brew this for a week or two yet though.

Why the 45 minute addition?

Looks good. Agree on the Centennials but could be wonderful as is too.

Why the 45 minute addition?

 

Same as the 30... just to smooth out the bittering a bit.  Playing off of the Dog Fish Head 60 and 90 min hopping regiment.
