India Pale Ale

Bottoms-Up Imperial IPA

Tasting Notes:

Light in color, rich in maltiness and the maddening amount of hops was incredible. My intent is to build a recipe that was motivated by Pliny. That recipe boasts over a pound of hops for a 5-gallon batch. I’m stopping at 12 ounces (I know…I’m a wuss). I’m also going to scale this up to 6.5 gallons to allow for loss due to the incredible amount of sludge I’m going to end up with.
