A Base Ipa For Experimentation

[mjadeb1984]

Hey i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of a good AG recipe for a IPA that i could use as a base to start experimenting with hop flavors. similer to the mikkeller single hop series. im after something to be a bit of a staple at home with a different twist each time.

Cheers

You could try a 10 min IPA if you have access to bulk hops

Otherwise something like:

80% Perle
15% munich
5% crystal heritage

Should give you a nice base to play with. Match the OG with the IBU. eg: 1.070 & 70 ibu.

I do a very simple IPA that I have brewed several times changing hops and yeast.

Great malt/hop flavour but definitely not an AIPA even though i regularly use american hops. Balanced is the best description. Nice simple grainbill which is all you need for the higher OG beers (IMHO).

Have just brewed a low OG beer to build up the yeast (WY1026 cask ale) to brew the challenger version shortly.
