I recently stopped at a local brewpub that had a Belgiam IPA(The Vintage Brewing Company, Rochambeau) which got me to thinking about making one on my own. I was thinking about 3 possible hop profiles. The first is one I have never done, the second is one I have done but only on a simple APA, the third is one with the same hops as the brewpub.
6lb Gold LME
8oz Carapils
8oz crystal 10L
Wyeast 1214
1.75 oz Pearle 5.4% 60m
2oz Amarillo 6.9% 15m
2oz Amarillo 6.9% 2m
I have never used Pearle or Amarillo so I don't know how they will be together.
1oz Centennial 8.6% 60m
1oz Cascade 5% 15m
1oz Cascade 5% 2m
I will probably up the IBU's to around 60 on that one. Trying to get a little under half of the IBU's from later hop additions.
1oz Sorachi Ace 10% 60m
1oz Sorachi Ace 10% 15m
1oz Sorachi Ace 10% 2m
Have not played around with the hops much on this one. This is the hop used in the original.
