late hop ipa

[ben the brewman]

this recipe is very close to my late hop pale ale but has a bit more grain and some summit hops. this beer has a great tangerine aroma and a good bitterness.

This IPA is probably my new fav beer. I had it at thebrewmans house the other night and it blew me away. The aroma is crazy tangerine goodness from the summit hops. I could almost to just the aroma. Great amarillo flavor and a nice bitterness that intensifies as it warms up.


If I'm lucky Ben will bring one of these to the club meeting thursday night so I can to it some more.

Sounds tasty. I'll have to add this one to the list. The IPAs I've made just don't have that zest I'm looking for. Maybe late hop is the way to go.

your in for a treat rod im bringing 6 of them so you should be ok.

Looks like another great one, Ben! You guys get any solid local IPA's out there?

[ben the brewman]

we only have 1 micro brewery here and their beer tastes like shit. its a bad off flavor from their yeast. they have been using the same yeast for like 25 years and refuse to get rid of it. their specialty beers get a fresh batch of yeast and taste fine so long story short no.

I just finished brewing this yesterday. The hop aroma is insane and the flavor is unbelievable. It was so good that I drank my entire unfermented OG testing sample...I can only imagine what it will be like in 3 weeks.

Ben,
How long does fermentation usually take on the IPA. My OG was 1.050. I pitched the yeast starter and it was going crazy in about 4 hours. It's been in Primary less than 24 hours and it's already slowing considerably. It started out bubbling about once every second now it's around once every 5 seconds.

[ben the brewman]

one week is about right for primary fermentation. then i would do 2 weeks in secondary on the second week i would add the dry hops. fermentations go pretty quick when a good starter is pitched.

[JXLT]

Well fermentation has apparently stopped. I have a huge yeast cake on the bottom of the carboy and only a thin krausen on the top. Almost no bubbling in the airlock. I guess I'll give it a day or two and see what happens.
