Brew Day - February 2, 2009
3 Dog English IPA
I lowered the BU's to 39. It was over hopped the last time I brewed this beer.
15 Gallons
17 lbs. G&P OiO
1 lb. Flaked Barley
.82 lb. Biscuit malt
1 lb. Crystal malt
130 grams EKG pellet hops
40 grams Nottingham dry yeast ( sprinkled on top )
Mash for 90 minutes
O.G. - 1.040
F.G. - 1.010
% - 3.94
srm - 7.3
BU - 39.7
This has come out just like I wanted. Maybe a little lower bitterness than last time, but a nice hoppy light ale. Great head and it tastes fresh. You can really taste the EKG. Much better than the American IPA's which all taste like grapefruit. I hate grapefruit. I can't figure out why anyone would like grapefruit beer. What is the attraction? Well, I got hooked on American IPA's. Once I tasted a few, I really like the taste. It took awhile, but I am going to brew them more often.
