Salt and Coriander in IPA?

[mrphillips]

I'm snowed in and NEED to brew...but I'm missing some grains I need to make the style I wanted. What I DO have is the following:


3 lbs. wheat DME
3 lbs. Pilsner DME

Coriander
Sea Salt

1 oz. Cascade Hops
1 oz. Haulertau Hops
1 oz. Simcoe Hops

S-05 Yeast


Any advise to help a hopeless brewing addict?

My gut reaction would be to make a gose, throw the cascades in at flameout to try and get some grapefruit action going. I'd probably leave the simcoe in the freezer for this one, personally.

 

[mrphillips]

Well Gose WAS the original plan, but my aciduated malt is still in-route.

Anyone ever try salt in an IPA?

 

[m00ps]

do you have anything to sour it with? cause you cant make a gose without some good souring stuff

im all for adventurous brewing, but salt in an IPA doesnt sound like itd be uniquely good. Plus 3 oz of hops isnt an IPA

all you can make is a pale wheat

 

[mrphillips]

I'm not trying to make a pseudo-gose, I'm just trying to toss together something with what I have.

I can deal with a pale wheat, but I hate turning down the opportunity to do something a little twisted.

Got any rosemary? Or other herbs? Fruit? I always wanted to try rosemary in a saison or hoppy ale.

 

[mrphillips]

Hmmmm...a saison. Hadn't thought of that. Not a bad idea.

Toss it, brew it and then report back your findings

Looks weird...so what...

Sounds like a classic recipe for an APA with a coriander twist and a dash of sea salt to increase the chloride to make it more sweet and malty if you like, call it a sweet APA.

Alternatively you could ditch the Cascade and Simcoe, stick to the Hallertauer and make it more of a European pale, something thats floral, spicy, sweet and with extra body. You could even make it into a lager.

You could still make a gose with souring by pitching raw grain in the wort for 24 hours before boiling and pitching yeast.

Make an American wheat with the cascade as a late addition, hallertau to bitter. Use some orange rind, no big expense you can still eat the orange, and add the coriander late.

 

[mrphillips]

I tried infecting with a handful of grains once before, and I got a ton of unwanted yucky bugs that made the beer taste like...well, puke. I might give it another go though.
