IPA Update

Recipes were submitted today for the IPA brew coming up this weekend. For hops we have our choice of Columbus, Centennial, Cascade, Chinook, Mt. Hood and Willamette all in type 90 pellet form. For grains we have pilsner as a base malt and then roasted barley, carahell, caraamber, carared, munich I and munich II. The total grain bill will be 25kg and the total hops is up to us.

Our group is going to be using a mixture of cascade and chinook hops during the boil followed by some heavy dry hopping with centennial. As far as grain we opted for a mixture of pilsner, carared and munich I. This is going to be the first IPA brew for everyone in our group with the exception of Mike. I do remember a time that I brewed an IPA back home but that batch had some pretty nasty smelling contaminant in it after the primary fermentation and had to be put down.

In any case we are starting our brew saturday afternoon and probably won't finish until sometime after 10 at night so check back Sunday for an update. Cheers!
