need an all-grain IPA

[armymedic942]

All right guys and gals, help a newbie out. I am in the final stages of my EHERMS build, and will be attempting my FIRST all-grain brew within the next 2 weeks.

Looking for suggestions for a good simple 10 gal IPA recipie.

I already have 8oz of Amarillo and 4oz of Citra hop pellets in the freezer, which I plan on including some of in the recipie, other than that I open to anything.

I would preferably like to keep this one pretty simple. Single stage mash, batch sparge and no dry hopping. You know, walk before you run

Looking forward to your replies, don't let me down HBT!

Cheers!

Some of?
Mate, use all the citra and amarillo!

 

[TAK]

72% 2-row pale malt, Belgian is good
11% Pilsner malt, again Belgian is good
14% Victory or Munich malt
3% Torrified Wheat

I love FWH'ing in an IPA. I have very little real life experience with FWH under my belt, but I'm bottling one this weekend that was FWH'd with Amarillo and Simcoe, no other bittering addition, and it's dreamy.

+1 on FWH. Also if you've never tried a hopstand they're amazing for aroma and flavor. Chill the wort to 180, and dump the hops in. Let them steep for 90 minutes, then chill, transfer and pitch yeast as normal. I've done several FWH/hopstand batches now and they come out great. If you're not going to dry hop then a hopstand is a must IMO. You're going to miss out on a lot of flavor and aroma that way.

Soooooo FWH is what?

I am going to take an educated guess and say Fresh Whole Hops?

am I close?

Looking into adding a Hop Back into the system before start up

Fresh whole hops would be great... but you won't get them for a few months if you're in the northern hemisphere.

Pellets impart more flavor per volume than the whole leaf hops when dry hopping, but I don't think there's a huge difference between the two in the boil. Oregon State did a study a few years back, I'm sure you can find a link on the forums.

first wort hopping. putting in the hops as you move the wort from mashing to the boil kettle, then letting them stay in there while the wort comes up to a boil

You guys are awesome
I found this clone of one of my all time favorite IPAs. Probably tweak it a bit to include citra hops and use a hop back instead of dry hopping
