IPA

This is based on a liberty IPA clone recipe that I found online at http://beerrecipes.org/

I changed it a little based on availability of ingredients and Barry's recommendation. I just found http://www.howtobrew.com it's a pretty rockin site. I decided to boil for a little longer than normal and add more hops than I normally would. It's an IPA after all.

Ingredients:

½ lb crystal malt
2 4lb cans light unhopped malt extract – Mountmellick
1 lb dry light malt extract
1 ounce Northern Brewer hops
2 ounces Cascade hops
Yeast Safale S-04 dry yeast

Procedure

Get two gallons of water to 170 F. Turn off heat. Steep crystal malt for 30 minutes. Remove hope bag, turn heat back on. Bring to a boil, turn off heat, add malt extract. Boil for 15 minutes. Add ½ ounce Northern Brewer. Boil 45 minutes. Add ½ ounce Northern Brewer and ½ ounce Cascade. Boil for 30 minutes. Add 1 ounce Cascade and 1 teaspoon Irish Moss. Boil for 15 minutes.
Move pot to ice bath. After cool add to primary fermented and bring up to 5 gallons.
Hydrate and proof yeast, then pitch.
Move to basement and wait.

I am planning to dry hop this batch. I am going to add the last ½ ounce of Cascade to the secondary fermenter.
