Belgian IPA
« on: August 05, 2017, 10:02:48 pm »
This may be my new favorite right now.  A malt forward belgian yeast playing off mosaic bitter and dry hop, WP citra/galaxy/idaho7 hops.

Yellow malty
50ish IBU @60m
83% base blend
10% Munich
5% caramunich
2% aromatic
Wlp515 fermented high

First run that I'm just finishing was Simcoe / Amarillo

How do you think it would be with fruit in the whirlpool? I like to use frozen blueberries.

That would be awesome, I'm not one for fruits belgian.  I think it thins the body down a lot.  But it does sound good

This si one I've made a few times that gets good reactions.  I kinda went with the theory of American IPA with Belgian yeast. I really like the way the tartness of the Ardennes yeast plays with the hops.
