Well in 2010 I was all about the Double (or like some like to say Imperial) IPA. I brewed my Double IPA about 4 times last year and used that as my focus for the local homebrew competitions. This year I decided to change gears (although just slightly). "Regular" American IPA's it is. The American IPA category gets a considerable higher number of entries in homebrew competitions making for stiffer competition. Plus I purchased a new 14 gallon conical fermentor so I'll be brewing mostly 10 gallon batches this year and well...my mash tun just can't handle the grain bill of the Double IPA's. I plan to brew tomorrow AM (1/15/11), getting started around 9. Feel free to swing by the garage. Here is the first version of my 2011 IPA's.

*Photo has nothing to do with an IPA. I just thought it looks cool. Actually not even sure what beer that was.
Also...forgot to mention that 5 gallons of this is going into a keg to be force carbonated while the other 5 gallons I plan to bottle condition with some brett brux.
ReplyDeleteBrew Day mistake...forgot to add the 1 lb of corn sugar. Although OG came in at 1.063. So going to hold off on the corn sugar. Will add to fermentor if corn sugar is needed to dry IPA out.
