Simcorillo IPA

Simcorillo IPA

American IPA • Extract • 5 gal

This was really tasty, although I'd probably make it slightly less bitter next time. NOTE: .5 oz Amarillo added at flameout, not 1 min. Late extract addition - first time experimenting. Added 3lb DME at 60 minutes, 4lb at 15 minutes. Mash temp for grains: 150F. 45 minute steep. Created yeast starter (first time) following Palmer's How to Brew method (http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter6-5.html) Aerated wort for ~5 minutes using fish tank oxygenator.

I made this last summer, and it is probably one of my best brews to date. I plan on brewing this again soon, but I think I'll make it a bit less bitter this time. I may only add .5 oz at 60 minutes, but boy did this smell goooooooood.
