Notes

West Coast IPA Recipe: "Pacific Horizon"

Batch Size: 5 Gallons (19 Liters)
Original Gravity (OG): 1.065
Final Gravity (FG): 1.010
ABV: ~7.2%
IBU: 60-70
SRM: 6-8 (Golden)

Grain Bill:
11 lbs (5 kg) Pale Malt (2-row): This will provide the base and backbone of your beer.
1 lb (0.45 kg) Munich Malt: Adds a touch of malty sweetness and complexity.
0.5 lb (0.23 kg) Caramel/Crystal Malt (40L): Contributes to body and a slight caramel flavor.
0.5 lb (0.23 kg) Vienna Malt: Enhances the malt profile with a slight toasty character.
Hop Schedule:
Bittering (60 minutes):

0.5 oz (14 g) Magnum: A high-alpha hop ideal for clean, smooth bitterness.
Flavor (20 minutes):

0.5 oz (14 g) Chinook: Adds piney, resinous, and slight spicy flavors.
Aroma (10 minutes):

0.5 oz (14 g) Centennial: Known for its citrusy and floral notes, it complements the other hops well.
0.5 oz (14 g) Calypso: Contributes a mix of fruity (apple, pear) and citrusy flavors.
Whirlpool (0 minutes, steep for 20 minutes at 170°F/77°C):

0.5 oz (14 g) Ella: Provides floral, spicy, and tropical fruit flavors.
0.5 oz (14 g) Azacca: Adds intense tropical fruit, mango, and citrus characteristics.
0.5 oz (14 g) Vic Secret: Delivers a punch of pineapple, pine, and herbal notes.
Dry Hop (7 days before packaging):

0.5 oz (14 g) Chinook
0.5 oz (14 g) Centennial
0.5 oz (14 g) Vic Secret
0.5 oz (14 g) Ella
0.5 oz (14 g) Azacca
0.5 oz (14 g) Calypso

Yeast:
American Ale Yeast (Wyeast 1056, White Labs WLP001, or SafAle US-05): A clean, neutral yeast that allows the hop flavors to shine through.
Brewing Process:
Mash:

Mash the grains at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes to achieve a balanced fermentability, which will provide a good body while allowing the hops to be the star.
Boil:

Boil for 60 minutes, following the hop schedule above.
Whirlpool:

After boiling, chill the wort down to 170°F (77°C), then add the whirlpool hops and steep for 20 minutes. This helps to extract flavor and aroma without too much bitterness.
Fermentation:

Chill the wort to around 68°F (20°C), pitch the yeast, and ferment at 67-70°F (19-21°C) for about 2 weeks or until fermentation is complete.
Dry Hopping:

After primary fermentation is complete, add the dry hops and let them steep in the beer for 5-7 days.
Packaging:

After dry hopping, cold crash the beer for 2-3 days to help clarify it, then bottle or keg the beer, carbonate to about 2.5 volumes of CO2, and enjoy!

Tasting Notes:
Expect a beer with a golden color and a strong hop aroma featuring a mix of pine, citrus, tropical fruit, and subtle herbal notes. The bitterness will be assertive but balanced by a clean malt backbone, making this IPA a crisp, refreshing, and flavorful brew that showcases the unique qualities of each hop.

Enjoy brewing your "Pacific Horizon" West Coast IPA!
