Brew Day - October 1, 2009
3 Dog IPA
I bought Jamil's book ( Brewing Classic Styles ) a couple of years ago and this recipe is based on his American IPA. I used all Chinook because it would of cost way too much to ship these different hops bought on-line. How is $13.00 shipping for 4 ounces of hops? Crazy. I bought 5 lbs. of Chinook from a place in Toronto and the shipping was $8.00. Figure that one out. Anyway, the smell of Chinook hops was fantastic in my garage. I used around 250 grams of hops. The hopstopper had a thick layer of hops on it. It did it's job.
14 Gallons
27.50 lbs. of Canada Malting
2 lbs. Flaked Barley
1 lb. Bairds Crystal
80 grams Chinook ( 11.4% AA ) 60 minutes
56 grams Chinook ( 11.4% AA ) 10 minutes
56 grams Chinook ( 11.4% AA ) 5 minutes
56 grams Chinook ( 11.4% AA ) 0 minutes
40 grams Nottingham yeast
O.G. - 1.060
F.G. - 1.010
% - 6.6
SRM - 7
BU - 68.4
I mashed for 90 minutes just to be sure it did it's job because the mash tun was pretty full. I forgot the whirlfloc tablet at the end of the boil. I threw it in half way through the cooling of the wort. No wonder I got all that foam ( protein? ). The no-foam had no affect on the foam in the carboys, so I just put up with it. I didn't get 5 gallons in the carboys, that is for sure. No matter, it tasted great. This is a tasty brew. It sure took a lot of hops to get it up there to where I like it. I looked at the pile of hops on brew day and thought, " I am glad I bought 5 lbs. " This is very hoppy. A little much for me, but this style seems to be popular. It will smooth out somewhat after awhile. It is still pretty hoppy, but with an alcohol content of 6.6%, this is not a quaffer.
