All Galaxy IPA

Post #1 made 13 years ago
by metalhophead
Hey guys. I've done a couple successful mini biabs and I thought I would give my own recipe a try. I know that I like Galaxy hops and that I want a beer with 65 ibu's and 6.5 abv. I used another biab recipe as a template and came up with this. How does it look? My only question is about the crystal. I know there are many different levels of them. I want a nice hoppy beer but with a hint of sweet in the malt. If you could give me any suggestions I would love to hear them.

Looks ok to me MHH.
I was originally going to say that I thought 15% crystal would give you a bit more than a hint of malt/sweetness, but at 65 IBU's maybe it will be balanced well?

The beauty of designing your own recipe though, is to give it a try & then tweak what you didn't like about it. Either way it is fun & educational.

Good luck.

The BIABacus will give you a bitterness to gravity ratio, but that will not relate to bitterness/maltiness as it would depend on your grain bill & fermentation etc.
It is worth keeping an eye on that ratio though, as it can be a quick guide to tweaking recipes.

For example, if you like the taste of the grain bill, but the hops were too much/little, you can adjust the hop bill.
Or vice versa with grain bill if you liked the hop profile.

If you like maltiness though, you could consider melanoidin malt. I believe you only need a small amount in the mash to affect the profile. YMMV.

Hey guys. I keep reading that using citra for bittering will give you some funky flavors. If you don't use a bittering hop and add everything in the last 20 min what will happen? I do have some left over Chinook could I bitter with Chinook.
