Avery is one of my favorite local breweries - they publish homebrew recipes for some of their brews including their IPA. This is my first non-kit brew - looking for some feedback.
Here is what Avery says:
OG: 1.058
AE: 1.009
Grist:
Pale 2-Row 94%
Munich 4%
C-120 2%
Hops:
60 min Columbus (13.9% AA) 0.24oz
30 min Columbus (13.9% AA) 0.27oz
0 min Cascade (6.9% AA) 1.64oz
0 min Centennial (9.5% AA) 1.64oz
0 min Chinook (11.4% AA) 1.64oz
Yeast California Ferm Temp 68F
They have three hop additions at zero minutes - presumably with a whirlpool. I'm not equipped to do that, so was going to do a late addition and use Beersmith to get to around 69 IBUs. I came up with two options.
Option 1 is closer to the recipe, but uses more hops:
10.5 lbs 2-row
8 oz Munich Malt
4 oz Caramel/Crystal 120
0.3 oz Columbus 14% Boil 60 min
0.25 oz Columbus 14% Boil 30 min
1.5 oz Cascade 6.9% Boil 7 min
1.5 oz Centennial 10% Boil 7 min
1.5 oz Chinook 13% Boil 7 min
IBU: 70.7
Option 2 gets the same IBUs and uses a whole number of hops (no leftovers). I did find this recipe on Beersmith or another recipe site - the grain bill is the same as my calcs (option 1)
10.5 lbs 2-row
8 oz Munich Malt
