Pick Axe IPA

[brtisbuck]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a recipe for a IPA with a similar flavor profile as a Tommyknocker Pick Axe. It has good flavors, but not strikingly bitter. It doesn't have to be a clone. Any thoughts?

Well I'll take a stab at it based on the info from their website...

2 row Pale Malt 75%
Munich Malt 15%
Carastan 5%
Crystal 75 5%

Chinook 60 minutes (25 IBU)
Summit 15 minutes (21 IBU)
Willamette 5 min (7 IBU)

Any clean ale strain (US05 etc etc)

OG. 1.063
IBU: 53

good luck!

Thanks. I wonder what they dry hop with?

So if I wanted to do this extract I used Tastybrew to come up with this:

Steep: 1# munich
.5# crystal 75l
.5# carastan

6.5# light DME

1oz chinook (pellet) @60
.5 summit (pellet) @5
.5 willamette (pellet) @5

OG - 1.063
FG - 1.016
IBU - 53
ABV - 6.1%

Lost on what to dry hop. I am guessing I dry hop .5 summit and .5 willamette. This is actually my first crack at messing with building or converting recipes, so any help would be appreciated. I'm not sure f my extract and steeping grains will give me the correct malt balance.
