I've been researching a decent "All-American" IPA and wanted to get some feedback on my recipe so far. My father-in-law is crazy about Hop Devil and Raging ***** are his favorites. I'm not trying to clone either, but rather create a similar batch of beer that he'll enjoy with a nice cigar. I should also add that I really am NOT a fan of hoppy beer - would much rather enjoy a nice stout or a cider, so I'm having a hard time with this one.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
92% 11lb 0 American Two-row Pale
4% 0 8oz Crystal 120L
4% 0 8oz Victory Malt
boil 60 mins 2.0 Amarillo pellet 7.0
boil 15 mins 0.5 Amarillo pellet 7.0
boil 15 mins 0.5 East Kent Goldings pellet 5.0
boil 5 mins 0.5 Amarillo pellet 7.0
dry hop 5 days 0.5 Willamette leaf 4.7
White Labs American Ale Blend (WLP060)
Irish moss and yeast nutrient
Thanks!
