Notes

Based on “Klaus Brau’s Kitchen Sink IPA” from cited url.

From source, intended for full batch:

A day or two before brew day make a yeast starter if using a liquid strain. On brew day perform a single infusion mash. Mash in at 152 °F (67 °C) in 4.4 gallons (16.6 L) of water. Hold this temperature for 60 minutes. Sparge with 180 °F (82 °C) water to collect 7 gallons (26.5 L) of wort. Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops at times indicated. The goal is to get 5.5 gallons (21 L) into your fermenter. Chill the wort to 64 °F (18 °C). Ferment between 64–68 °F (18–20 °C). Transfer to a secondary vessel after primary fermentation is complete. Dry hop for one week with 0.5 oz. (14 g) Amarillo®, 0.5 oz. (14 g) Simcoe®, and 0.5 oz. (14 g) Centennial hops. After one week dry hop again with 0.5 oz. (14 g) Simcoe® and 0.5 oz. (14 g) Cascade hops. Prime to 2.3 volumes of CO2.

My comments:

  1. We won’t need a starter because it’s a half batch.
  2. We’ll do our best to chill it and keep the fermentation temp as low as possible, but we only have water baths, ice, and basement spaces for cooling and this summer has been crazy hot. So we’ll just see how it goes.
  3. Our local store didn't have Optic, so substituting Golden Promise. Research: https://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewing/comments/30haxx/optic_malt_replacement/
  4. I added some acidulated malt to optimize the estimated mash ph

    NOTE: we ware planning on brewing this with Soren's setup at his house. He says his system only boils off a half a gallon in an hour so I adjusted the pre-boil volume.

    Hop schedule with AAU values from original 5 gallon batch

    14 AAU Magnum hops (60 min.) (1 oz./28 g at 14% alpha acids)
    5 AAU Centennial hops (30 min.) (0.5 oz./14 g at 10% alpha acids)
    5 AAU Centennial hops (15 min.) (0.5 oz./14 g at 10% alpha acids)
    3.5 AAU Cascade hops (5 min.) (0.5 oz./14 g at 7% alpha acids)
    0.5 oz. (14 g) Centennial hops (0 min.)
    0.5 oz. (14 g) Cascade hops (0 min.)
    0.5 oz. (14 g) Amarillo® hops (dry hop)
    1 oz. (28 g) Simcoe® hops (dry hop)
    0.5 oz. (14 g) Centennial hops (dry hop)
    0.5 oz. (14 g) Cascade hops (dry hop)
