recipe for extract IPA please

Postby Cadbury » Tuesday Sep 01, 2009 11:42 am

G'day men,
I have about 10kg of dry malt(given to me!) I want to use some of it to make an IPA. I would also like to steep some grains to give a better flavour. Does anyone have a recipe that fits the bill. To those people that helped me with a pilsner recipe, I'm putting it down this Friday. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks

English or American?

English IPA
extract to hit desired OG using beersmith (sorry, dont have it at work - i'd be aiming for around 1.058)
200g medium crystal malt
100g pale choc malt (optional - i like my IPAs a little darker than most)

Hops - i love the all challenger IPA i made recently. Also like to combine Fuggles/EKG/Styrian Goldings in varying ratios.

60 min addition to get at least 2/3rds of your desired IBUs. I'd be aiming for 50-55.
15 min addition at 1g/L
0 min addition at 1g/L

Yeast - if you want dry go S-04 or nottingham.

If you want to make an american IPA you could use the same malts. Hops in an AIPA dominant malt so you should add a huge chunk of hops (american hops - cascade, amarillo, centennial, simcoe, chinook etc) late in the boil still aiming for 50-55 IBU. US05 yeast.

If you go US, do not stinge on the hops... go big and bold and perhaps swap some DME out for a little dex to dry it a little, and ferment starting cold and only warm it up to finish the last remnants of fermentable sugar.

It is hard to go wrong with a US IPA except to have it not hoppy enough.

Look at 45-50g additions as a minimum throughout and multiple varieties if you can.

I like:

Chinook & Columbus early & mid boil
Centennial mid-late
Cascade late boil

Dry hop with all above :)

ED: and I think if you add amarillo, do it at flameout because if you do big 30-10 additions you can get fruit cup crush.

Imperial India Pale Ale (aka Imperial Landlord)
2 x tins Coopers Lager
1.5kg LDME
Hops
20 min - 15g each of Fuggles, EKG and Styrian Goldings
10 min - 15g each of Fuggles, EKG and Styrian Goldings
0 min - 25g each of Fuggles, EKG and Styrian Goldings
Dry hop - 20g each of EKG and Styrian Goldings
Yeast - US05

Top up to 20L for OG 1.078, IBU ~ 70, ABV ~7.5% (these numbers i my best guess as its hard to work out utilisation with such a small boil volume and so many hops - the bigger the boil the more accurate the guesstimate you can make using beersmith).

Its a kits and bits version of my AG IIPA that scored 42/50 at SABSOSA last year. To go extract sub the coopers lager tins for the equivalent weight of LME and add a 60 min addition of a high AA% hop to hit the target IBU. You could also steep some pale chocolate malt for extra character and colour - 200g.

Its a pretty big beer but its ages well, it lasted nearly a year in my hands when i only had a bottle every now and then.

I currently have an American Rye IPA on tap that i probably should have bottled. At 6.7% its not a session beer!
