I don’t typically post recipes because I find that I am more of the type to learn from others brewing experience as opposed to throwing mine out there. But this one is really good. I’m not sure if it fits more into a pale ale or IPA. It’s darker and maltier than most IPAs I make. But it’s not sweet. At all. And it’s not overpowering on the aroma or hop flavor department, because there is a really strong malt character. It’s really not the typical west coast IPA, it’s more like Surly Furious (where I started with the grain bill, with some minor personal modifications) but in my opinion it;s better than Furious.
Brewer’s note: I ran off a total of 8 gal, took 1gal from kettle before adding the FWH and boiled that 1 gal down to <0.25 gal for added caramelization, and then added that back to the kettle. Not sure how much difference this made, but I’m sure as heck gonna repeat it.
I honestly cannot think of any changes I will make. Which is rare for me.
