I've been brewing mostly straightforward IPA's the past year...think I'll brew a kitchen sink IPA for kicks. I'm looking for a somewhat sweet malt backbone. BU:GU as it stands is 0.93. Lot's of late addition Chinook.
I have very little experience brewing with Chinook, and I'm wondering whether this quantity of late charge Chinooks will be overwhelming. Thoughts?
KIPA (10.5 gallons):
Appx. Targets:
OG - 1.073; IBU - 68; SRM - 10; ABV - 7.1%
Grain Bill:
26 lbs. 2-Row
1 lb. Amber malt
1 lb. Crystal 20
1/2 lb. Honey malt
1/4 lb. Special B
~4 oz. Acidulated malt (pH adjustment)
Water:
RO water treat with CaCl2, CaSO4 & MgSO4
Mash @ 152°F
Hop Bill:
1.8 oz. Magnum (10.0% AA) @ 60 min.
2 oz. Chinook (11.0% AA) @ 15 min.
2 oz. Chinook (11.0%) @ 10 min.
2 oz. Chinook (11.0% AA) @ 5 min.
2 oz. Chinook (11.0%) @ flameout

Pine forest is good...dank not so much. I have been contemplating splitting the 5 min. and flameout additions between chinook and a lighter/fruitier hop like galaxy or amarillo to make the dank pine forest a regular pine forest with fruit on top for balance.matt7215 wrote:late addition Chinook = dank pine forest
1.8 oz. Magnum (10.0% AA) @ 60 min.
2 oz. Chinook (11.0% AA) @ 15 min.
2 oz. Chinook @ 10 min.
1 oz. each of Chinook & Galaxy (13.0% AA) @ 5 min.
1 oz. each of Chinook & Galaxy @ flameout
Of course this would add yet another element, but perhaps the end result will be better.
