Little Things That Kill or thereabouts

[sljhudson]

Hello,

I'm keen to brew a session IPA as fantastic as Weird Beard's Little Things That Kill. Low in alcohol but big in hops and most importantly body. Their blog is a good start:

My first stab at the recipe is below and I would appreciate your thoughts:

17g each of Mosaic, Amarillo and Cascade at 75mins (AA 10%)
17g each of Mosaic, Amarillo and Cascade at 0mins
17g each of Mosaic, Amarillo and Cascade dry hop

Mash thin at 68 degC

Thanks that was a very interesting read. Looks good to me but i suspect you may end up with a lower FG than 1016 though even with the lactose and a mash at 68c. Let us know how you get on,sounds like a really nice beer.

I had partially based things on the following post:

This is where BRY-97 came from and the post suggest IBU is 96, which I've shied away from a bit.

The hop varieties came from Weird Beard's blog (above)

I wonder, did you brew this recipe, how did it turn out?.
