Hello all,
I'm doing my first BIAB batch this weekend, a black IPA, and it will be a 2.5 gallon batch (about 3.5 gallon boil). To keep costs down a little I was going to stick with two hops, so I bought 2oz each of centennial and cascade. When I got home, I realized I had another 2oz of citra leftover from my last batch, so I might as well throw some in.
Now that I have 2oz each of centennial, cascade, and citra, how would you suggest hopping this half-batch? I'm thinking something like:
0.375 oz - Centennial for 60 min, Type: Pellet, Use: Boil (AA 10.9, IBU: 30.64)
0.25 oz - Cascade for 15 min, Type: Pellet, Use: Boil (AA 5.3, IBU: 4.93)
0.25 oz - centennial for 15 min, Type: Pellet, Use: Boil (AA 10.9, IBU: 10.14)
0.25 oz - citra for 15 min, Type: Pellet, Use: Boil (AA 11, IBU: 10.23)
0.5 oz - Cascade for 2 min, Type: Pellet, Use: Boil (AA 5.3, IBU: 1.68)
0.5 oz - Citra for 2 min, Type: Pellet, Use: Boil (AA 11, IBU: 3.49)
for a calculated 61 IBU, and maybe use some of the remaining hops for a two dry hop additions at three days apart. Thoughts?
If it matters, the rest of the recipe is 85% 2 row, 6% each carafa III and crystal 10, and 3% american special roast, and the yeast will be american ale II.
Thanks,
JK
