It’s been a few weeks and I’m starting to go a little light on my brews so it’s time to get my act together and start brewing! My pale ale is on it’s last legs so I am going to replace it with an IPA, a style I can’t seem to go wrong with. As much as a like all kinds of different brews, there is no other style that is more of a “comfort beer” than the IPA. I love the variations and it’s always on my pallet to grab one.
With this one, I am going to use the Po-Boy IPA malt profile and utilize some of my hops purchased from Tim at Pompey Mountain Hops Farm along with the hops I grew this summer should make for an interesting “Empire State of mind” (Go Yankees!) Po-Boy. I will be updating this post with the hops additions once they’re ready, but here is the malt profile and I am going to be using my Irish Ale Yeast from Wilford’s Best Stout so it should make for some variations on the original:
- 25lbs US 2 Row Pale
- 1lb Crystal 20L
- .75lb Crystal 60L
- .65lb Cara-pils
Again, the hops will be a mix of whole leaf cascade and cenntenial hops with pellet cascade. I have almost 4lbs of hops so I will not be stingy with with my hop additions.
