With all the weird IPAs being made these days I got to feeling nostalgic about a simple well balanced IPA with centennial and cascade, so I brewed one.
While aiming somewhere in the vicinity of 100-200 IBUs lol.You can't call it an old-style IPA unless it uses Goldings...
Agreed, shoulda said old school USA IPA.You can't call it an old-style IPA unless it uses Goldings...
The ones I make are 100+ years older than that. 1998 is more like the day before yesterday.1998 called and wants its beer back
Agree, never use Citric or Mosaic - and leave Galaxy late in the boilWith all the weird IPAs being made these days I got to feeling nostalgic about a simple well balanced IPA with centennial and cascade, so I brewed one.View attachment 766929
That looks very yummy.With all the weird IPAs being made these days I got to feeling nostalgic about a simple well balanced IPA with centennial and cascade, so I brewed one.View attachment 766929
I brew my "Summer Ale" every year and I'll be doing it again next month. It uses Centennial and Cascade hops. It's very American with Briess extract and US05 yeast. My IPA, however, uses Goldings, Munton's, and British yeast. On the other hand, I agree with your sentiment and @Miraculix is right: that does look yummy.With all the weird IPAs being made these days I got to feeling nostalgic about a simple well balanced IPA with centennial and cascade, so I brewed one.
Sad when clear beer is considered odd these days and beer that looks like orange juice is all the rage and considered “normal”. People have lost their minds.The ones I make are 100+ years older than that. 1998 is more like the day before yesterday.

I did one of those for a Zymurgy online extra. It took nine months of aging to become drinkable.While aiming somewhere in the vicinity of 100-200 IBUs lol.
Yes, a true India Pale Ale. You should've sent it out on a ship for a few months lol.I did one of those for a Zymurgy online extra. It took nine months of aging to become drinkable.

I did a red IPA with C hops and Brewers Gold that was well over 100 IBU by mistake. Brewing on the hoof with a hang over, mental math mess-up plus flame out hops that added a lot of IBUs that I forgot to factor in iirc.I did one of those for a Zymurgy online extra.

Made the same experience with an overly hoppy ak. It wasn't drinkable for the first months but after half a year it got better and better. After about one year it got worse again, but the ibus were only about 60 or 70.I did a red IPA with C hops and Brewers Gold that was well over 100 IBU by mistake.

Anyway, I drank an occasional bottle and kind of enjoyed it in a hard earned sort of way. But from 1 to 2 years it became one of my favourite beers I ever brewed. The last bottle at over 2 years was drunk in the kitchen at dusk as the light evaporated, a sad but beautiful experience! I should brew more beers this way and put them away. Something happens to heavily hopped aged beers I think. That one wasn't terribly strong. About 5.8% iirc.
And actually I did brew one last September, a strong bitter around 6%. 23 litres with 300g mostly English hops, but 40g were American. Again it's very bitter but I am drinking it, sometimes blended with a 6% old ale which is a bit average, under hopped. Together they make a very nice ale. I'll hold some of the bitter back for later consumption, as I intended.
When I also have some amarillo.No simcoe love ?
So glad to find this thread. I literally can't find an IPA I like in the breweries right now. Good for the ol' wallet though I guess! Who's got recipe recommendations? Clean, bitter, piney goodness please. I've got the equipment for partial mash and BIAB currently.I like a simple-ish American IPA with 2-row, a pinch of wheat or Munich, then assertive hopping with C-hops to 60-80 IBU’s. And some complimentary late kettle hopping.
Bracingly bitter, makes a point, then the finish makes you want another sip.
And doesn’t require a paragraph explanation
I love amarillo. I worked up a recipe with amarillo last night. Can’t wait to brew it.When I also have some amarillo.
Yes, please.1998 called and wants its beer back
