XenoDuff Uncle Bunny's Hop IPA
English IPA • All Grain • 9 gal
Too much grains, too little water, adds to the color, but should be a hoppy beer...the cascades are put in 1 oz 10 min. and 1 oz 1 min. Ended up pretty good...the California V Ale Yeast ended up making a tastier beer...but both were good.

Ingredients (All Grain, 9 gal)

Maris Otter Pale
Maris Otter Pale
An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

White Labs WLP001 California Ale
White Labs WLP001 California Ale
This yeast is famous for its clean flavors, balance and ability to be used in almost any style ale. It accentuates the hop flavors and is extremely versatile.
Notes
We ended up brewing two batches ...5 gallon of the WLP001 California Ale Yeast...and 4 of the California Ale V Yeast....the latter turning out much fruitier and lighter in mouthfeel (better tasting to me) For the crystal malt we combined about 1 lb 85 degree with 50 degree or something similar to get a close enough to 60 degree rating
