House Session IPA

Keith · Post by **Keith** » Sun Aug 17, 2014 3:28 pm

Well I'm out of beer and need to brew. Just got around to sorting my grain and putting it away from the grain split.
I'm planning on brewing 10 gallons of my house IPA. The grain build is similar to my pine apple IPA, hop schedule is different and ofcourse this will be brewed without the pine apple.

I must have been way off on my mill setting. Efficiency was poop. Only hit 1.045. I guess it really is a session IPA

Not sure what Mill you have, but mine is the Barley Crusher, set at 0.038. You can borrow my feeler Hughes if you want.

I have the one Dave sells, I'll definitely take you up on the offer of borrowing the feeler hughes. I was disappointed with only getting 60% efficiency.

Question:
How frequently does everyone stir their mash?

What style would this fall into now with the new stats? Would this be considered a Pale ale or weak IPA?

Final Gravity: 1.013
ABV: 4.39%
IBU: 51.80
SRM: 7.67

Only slightly high on the IBUs compared to the Pale Ale style, so I'd say that.

Yea it's more a cross between Pale Ale and IPA. I suppose it's a "specialty" IPA of sorts.

Did you have to tighten the gap?

Actually when I plugged this into beer smith I should of had 1.048 not 1.057. So I'm pretty happy with 1.046. Once I get my final gravity reading, It looks like I'll have a tasty APA.

Well this dried out. Looks like a 4.9% beer in the end. Mind you it may clean up a bit more, but I doubt it.
