A while back there was a great group of guys I kept in touch with through brew blogs. I’ve lost touch with the brew community to a large extent, but I remember drinking Ted’s Columbus IPA
http://www.tedbrews.com/2008/09/columbus-ipa.html?m=1. Over the years, Ted’s Columbus IPA really stood out to me so when I was contemplating my next IPA, I decided to take a shot at his recipe. Here is what I came up with:
13lbs US 2 row pale malt
1lb US caramel 20L
8oz US caramel 80L
6.4oz Carapils
6oz US Victory Malt
4oz Canadian honey malt
1oz US Columbus 75min
.5oz cascade 20min
.5oz US Columbus 20min
.5oz US Columbus 10min
.5oz cascade 10min
1oz US Columbus flame out
1oz US Columbus dry hop- secondary
Wyeast 1056 American Ale
My pre boil gravity was 1.061, OG was 1.067 and it fermented down to 1.012. I strike at 151, held for 60min and did two batch sparges, however, I wasn’t able to get the temp of the grain bed up over 155f.
This one is kegged now and waiting for a spot in the lineup to open so I can tap her, can’t wait!
