Oh boy... I have found an IPA recipe I really like. I brewed it a couple of months ago.. and it is really great..
I thought I would brew it again but substitute one of the hops and increase the citra..
So after a trip to the Homebrew store and $48 later, I started the brewing process..
My recipe calls for :
1.00 oz Warrior Boil 60.0 min
1.00 oz Citra Boil 20.0 min
1.00 oz Centennial Boil 10.0 min
1.00 oz Cascade Boil 5.0 min
I got distracted with football.. and 5 minutes into the boil I realized I had put all 4 hop additions in the boil at once. Ouch..
Not knowing what to do... I yanked the hop bag out of the boil, and kept it out until the 30 minute mark and put it back in.. I probably should have kept it out longer.. I plugged the 30 minute boil numbers into Beersmith and it calculated a whopping 113 IBU's !!!
So either in 5 weeks time, I will be the proud creator of a new 'Hop Dip Method' or the term 'BitterBomb' hahaaa
I have a feeling the latter is more likely..
I just thought I would share..
