Gravity Thrills

Hop Overload!

I love my hops, but this one may be a bit much. 50 IBUs is outof the APA range (20-40), and halfway into the IPA range. If you haven't made this one yet, I would either cut the hops to 40 IBU or less, or up the gravity to at least 1060. With time, a pale ale this heavily hopped could mellow out nicely, but I never like to wait that ling! Cheers, Jim

My holiday red was over 168 IBUs. Yummy! With 4 oz. of Pacific Gems at 18.2% If you can find it try Pizza Port's Hop 15, or Wipeout. Or Dogfish Head's 90 min. IPA. If the beers hoppy, I'm hoppy. I do like more balanced as well, this one is all about the Cascade.

Bitter like a divorce!

I have been trying desperately to get my hands on a bottle of Ruination IPA from California's Stone Brewing Co. That one is over 100 IBUs. For me, it's more about how much time I want to wait for that much hop aggressiveness to sit down and play nice with the other flavors. I just kegged a perle/cascade-heavy APA about 10 days ago. I only had around 40IBUs but it initially out of balance, and is only now coming into its own - half the keg is gone, of course. Thanks for the other commercial suggestions, I'll be on the look out for them. Jim
