Amarillo and Mosaic IPA

[cowdocbrewer]

Hey all,

Wondered if anyone could review this IPA recipe? Thanks!

12.5# Pale Malt, 1.5#biscuit, 1# crystal 60L. Mash at 152F for an hour, basic batch sparse.
1 oz Columbus fwh, 1 oz each Amarillo and mosaic at 20, 10 and flame out. Dry hop 1 oz of each for 7 days. WL001 2L starter

Looks good to me. Right up my alley. I might do a lower crystal, but that is just a personal preference.

Thanks!


I didn't want that much 60L, but I was day dreaming when I measured it out and didn't realize until I'd run it through the mill. It's VERY red; completely incorrect to call it an India red ale? I bumped the Columbus up to 2oz and boiled for 90 mins to try to take some caramel away from the 60L.

How'd this one turn out?

Very good! Great citrus-grapefruit aroma, fruity hop flavor, balanced bitterness. Deep red in color. Very little to no head retention; will brew it again but drop. Down the 60L and add some catapults. Will send a picture this weekend.

Have considered adding citra or swapping the mosaic for simcoe.....

Stupid autocorrect. *Carapils

Sweet. :rockin:

Hi, what do you mean "boil 90 minutes to take caramel away from the 60?" Boiling longer adds caramelization. What am I missing here?

I would have added a pound of suger to help dry it out with the crystal
