British Hop IPA

[ClownPrince]

Quick recipe check.
20l.

2.5kg Extra Pale Malt
2kg Maris Otter
0.1kg Carapils (I know it doesn't really fit, but it's some leftovers).
Mashing at 67 degrees for an hour.
Should get me an OG of 1.051 as per Brewer's Friend.

12g Admiral for 60mins
10g Jester for 10mins
10g Harlequin for 10mins
10g Jester at Flameout
10g Harlequin at Flameout
Should give me about 40IBUs as per Brewer's Friend
(However much Jester & Harlequin I have left will be added as a dry hop about 3 days before bottling. I reckon I'll have about 20g left of each).

2 packs of US-05 as yeast.

The hop schedule isn't far off my 3% pale ales (3kg base malt)
For comparison I use:
10-15g magnum for bittering (60)
20g flavour (30-20)
20g armoa at flameout.

I don't bother with dry hopping, I think it's a faf & introduces unnecessary risk of infection. Would the Victorians dry hop before exporting barrels to India?

Me too

One pack of us-05 would do it.

Hop total 52g & us-05 tells me this is going to be delicate.

67c mash dry & delicate.

Bottled up a similar offering tried it yesterday. Lovely refreshing pale ale. Full on Harlequin rather than delicate:
20L 1045 35IBUs CaSO4 and CaCL2 added to water
4Kg Plumge Archer (because the yield is pretty crâp) 360 g Wheat malt, 180g Amber Malt
All Harlequin pellets 9.1% alpha acid
28g in mash and then in boil, overnight mash
20g for 15 mins
20g for 5 mins
32g hopsteep at <80C
(purposely using full 100g bag)
60 minute boil , protafloc
Pitched with Verdant IPA

21 litres at target OG.
Lovely stuff.
It was a first-time recipe, but I'll do it again.

I thought they very famously did dry hop for the antibacterial properties of hops.
