IPA semi-SMaSH Millenium
American IPA • All Grain • 2.5 gal
I brewed this to be able to get a good grip on the hop characteristics of different varieties. I will be duplicating the recipe over time only changing the variety of hops. This is the reason for such a high dosage of hops.

Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt

2-Row Carapils® Malt; Briess
2-Row Carapils® Malt; Briess
Very low color or flavor contribution. Characteristics & Applications: • The endosperm is completely glassy and will appear to be darker than standard Brewers Malt. • Carapils® is a very unique dextrine-style malt that adds body, foam retention, and beer stability without influencing color or flavor. • Use to upgrade all types of beer, including light colored beers. • The non-fermentables in Carapils® are very advantageous in balancing body and flavor of dark colored beers. • May be used with or without other specialty malts. • Low usage of 1-5% will help achieve desired results. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Fermentis US-05 Safale US-05
Fermentis US-05 Safale US-05
The most famous ale yeast strain found across America, now available as a ready-to-pitch dry yeast. Produces well balanced beers with low diacetyl and a very clean, crisp end palate. Sedimentation: low to medium. Final gravity: medium. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C± 3C(80F ±6F). Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C(68F). Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.
Notes
This is a test batch. Idea stems from a SMaSH, but I decided that would be too boring. So it is still very simple, yet just enough to make a ?good? IPA. Tasted good at the time of transferring to secondary. I added in another oz. of Millennium pellets for dry hop and let it sit for about a week in the secondary before bottling.

A really good brew

The Millennium showcase in this brew is fantastic. Tastes like a Left Hand's "Stranger" APA, but only with a slightly more hopped finish.

With those IBUs this looks like a west coast IPA, not an APA. I'm curious how this one turned out.
