Work this bugger out, if you can!!!

Just lurking around the net and found this brewery site in the good old US of A.
Now they give you a lot of info about their IPA..HERE and then they even give you the recipe :clap: HERE but they left a bit out... :nono:

Note: Temps, times and weights are the challenge. Happy Brewing!

Bar stewards... :lol: I'm tempted to wack it into Brew Mate and have a go.... :party:

They use a lot of different hops.
I'm back tracking just now, my last batch was all Fuggle.

Brewers will not tell you to much they must have lots of little tips. I am mashing in the morning a 50 litre pale ale and I will have a 60 min boil with Summer and Challenger at FWH then Nelson saivion at 15 min and then lots of Simcoe at flame out for a 80oc 30 min soak before cooling. So 4 types of hop at three intervals. I heard a great food programme on radio 4 about hopping and american brewing about 4 weeks ago and it is still on the poscast . I think all should listen to it. It's great.

Sounds ok, what's the link to the podcast???

I was going to sugest that you look at average % grists for a number of commercial IPA's out of GW book but looking at that grist it is not really like much else and the hops are well 'lets pull six bags of hops out of a sack' :lol: :lol:

Bit of a bugger that one.

I would have said northern brewer was you bittering along with millenium and probably Horizon.

cascade is used as aroma flavour and also bittering so take your pick looking at my recipe for proper job it was used at 90min 15min and lights out :wha:

I am getting confused now. Just throw the feckers in a big pot and have done :lol: :lol:

I like your thinking, I liked what they have done in as much "this is what we use" but not how much. I know you would be lucky to hit the same taste bang on. It's just gets the brain box going, we all use one of the recipe software program that's about, but doing it this way seemed like fun..

If you break down commercial recipes they usually are quite similar in proportions of the grist for a particular style of beer. Look at GW's book and look at Courage Directors and Flowers IPA very similar and then look at the hopping of Castle Eden it is very similar to the other two but the grist is different. Funny that when I was a student I really enjoyed all those beers :hmm: :hmm:

Have you got a copy of Designing Great Beers: The Ultimate Guide to Brewing Classic Beer ...by Ray Daniels? that may give you some pointers to the style, I take it it is going to be more of an APA than an IPA. :lol: :lol:
