A while ago I bought a bunch of grain and hops. The explanation to the wife back in October was that "i won't have to buy anything until July". Well I'm down to the remnants of what is left and she is holding me to the not buying anything until July.
I'm left with a recipe that is supposed to be an IPA, but it won't end up fruity like most of my ipas. I really have no idea how this will turn out.
10 gallon batch
11 lbs 2 row
3 lbs Crystal 20
5 lbs Honey malt
2 lbs table sugar
Mash at 150
Mash out at 168 for 10 minutes
Yellow bitter water profile
2 oz columbus for FWH (last of what I have left)
3 oz Sterling - 20 minute addition
3 oz Crystal - 20 minute addition
2 oz Ahtanum - 20 minute addition
Vermont Ale yeast strain - on the 16th generation of usage. I tested the beer from the starter, still has that peach taste and no off flavors.
Very curious to see how this one turns out. The hops are all pretty old, they have been opened from the vacuum sealed pouch and put into zip lock bags and in the fridge.
Hope it turns out at least OK, because I have a lot to drink of it.
