Jon, I'll keep that in mind when I try this beer we make. I got home and checked my notes (instead of just sitting at work and dreaming). As it turns out, one of my favorite IPA recipes - a Pliny homage - was 2-row and C40 but I think I'm looking for something, I don't know,
different.Here's an actual go at it, split evenly between WLP001 (new pure pitch apparently) and WY3522. Also - I love WY3522 in Belgian hoppy beers. I got the recommendation from Stan H a couple of years ago and haven't turned back.
11 gallon batch:
11lb Rahr 2-row
11lb TF Maris Otter
1.5lb Table Sugar
---------
60' - HopShot to 50 IBUs
10' - 1oz Centennial, 1oz Columbus, 1.5oz Mosaic, 1oz Citra
FO - 2oz Centennial, 2oz Columbus, 3oz Mosaic, 1oz Citra
---------
Target mash pH: 5.4
65ppm Ca, 13ppm Na, 120ppm SO4; 38ppm Cl
Mash @ 149F for 90'
---------
WLP001
WY3522
---------
OG: 1.060
FG: 1.010
IBU: 128 (?? idk, Beersmith calc'd)
SRM: 4
ABV: 6.5%
Is this enough hops? It doesn't seem like it, but the 128 calc'd IBUs makes me think it might be.
(Side note: I'm sick and not thinking clearly... so I'm bouncing ideas off Myles and you all. Thaaaaaank you guys!) Anyway, we have a metric crap ton of these hops but 12oz of hops plus a HopShot seems logical at this point.
