F.H.I.P.A.
Posted by | Uncategorized | Posted on August 13th, 2006
First off, the FG of the brown ale was 1.018 … ABV of around 3.9%.
We brewed yesterday for the first time in quite a while. We
decided to call this one F.H.I.P.A., for … er … “Freakin” Hot India
Pale Ale. It was rather warm when we started brewing.
Anyway, here’s the recipe:
- 20 lbs US 2-row
- 2 lbs crystal (40L)
- 2 lbs flaked wheat
- 2 lbs munich malt
- 2 lbs rye
- 2 oz Warrior hops (pellets) (60 minutes) 16.4% AA
- 6 oz Centennial hops (pellets) 9.4% AA
- 2oz 15 minutes
- 2oz 5 minutes
- 2oz dry hop
We got an OG on this one of 1.063. Clint also started playing
around with Promash,
which told us that our beer is going to have an IBU level of
107.8! (A “normal” IPA is 40 – 60.) I was honestly kindof
worried about this one… but an initial tasting shows that it’s going
to be pretty darned tasty. At first there doesn’t seem to be much
hoppiness to it … it’s ok, but nothing special. Then come
the hops! Quite impressive.
