Hop Head Double IPA Partial

Hop Head Double IPA Partial

American IPA • Partial Mash • 5 gal

BrewMaze644

A double IPA, very hoppy. Turned out very well and nicely clear with no filtering. A true hop-head's delight. If you like craft brewed IPAs with a whole nose of hops, you'll like this one.

Notes

Excellent. Loved the Simcoe hops. Very "craft Brew" taste. Need to let rest for at least 4wks after kegging (I force carbonated). Could add a touch more of the smoked malt to give more of the cask flavor. Drops clear after a month. May try Dry hop with Simcoe rather than Cascade on next batch. Mash Notes: 20 Min @ 140F 70 min @ 155F Actual: O.G. - 1.079 Actual: F.G. - 1.019
