Hi all,
Thought I'd share a recipe I've now brewed about 7-8 times. I'd probably call this my "house" beer as I've had a variant of it on draft for about a year in the home bar. This is my Session Rye IPA where I've kept the grain bill the same but switch out hop combos each time I've brewed. The recipe below, I brewed last week and I'm getting ready to crash it, rack it, and carb it. This beer is best fresh just because of the amount hops.
6.5 gallon batch (8 gallons pre-boil)
9.5 lbs. 2-Row
1 lb. - Flaked Rye
1/2 lb. - 40L
18 g - Columbus (60 mins)
28 g - Citra (15 mins)
28 g - Centennial (15 mins)
28 g - Citra (1 min)
28 g - Centennial (1 min)
28 g - Citra (DH - 5 days)
28 g - Centennial (DH - 5 days)
OG: 1.045 - FG: 1.010 - SRM: 5 - IBU: 50 - ABV: 4.5%
As I said, I've switched up the hops every batch. This latest batch might be the best as it's bursting with fruity aroma...it smells like a bowl of Fruity Pebbles!!! The combo of Citra & Centennial is outstanding. Last time I brewed this, I used Galaxy and Cascade and for whatever reason...these two didn't play well together. It was a good beer, just not my favorite. But this one....BOOM! That's what I love about this hobby.
If you're wondering what to brew next, try this one out.
Cheers boys!
