Somebody was asking if this recipe could be posted for all those without a subscription to the BYO mag, here it is.

BYO Burton-on-Housatonic IPA

19L AG
OG=1.070 FG=1.014
IBU= 60 SRM=9 ABV=7.3%

6.4kg Marris Otter
0.28kg crystal malt (40*L)

Northern Brewer 7.0%AA
65g 90min

EKG
28g 10min

EKG
28g 0min

EKG
28g Dry Hop (in secondary)

White Labs WLP023 (Burton Ale Yeast)

1 Cup corn sugar (for priming)

Single step infusion mash 67-68C for 1-1.5hr. Sparge for one hour(don't ask me) with water no hotter than 79C until runoff reaches SG 1.010-1.012. Boil for 90min with bittering hops added after foamy head subsides. Adjustwort volume with cold water and cool to about 21C. Pitch with yeast starter and allow to ferment. By 5-7 days final gravity should have been reached; rack into secondary fementer. If you are bottling, add dry hops at this stage. One to two weeks later, rack again , prime with corn sugar and rack into keg or bottles. If you keg your beer, add dry hops at this stage(don't follow that bit either)
The beer should be ready to drink after conditioning for a week or so. It will keep for months if kept cool. and you have been careful to avoid aeration during racking.

cheers

Just having a glass of this now and for the guy(s) that wanted to know the outcome I can tell you it taste absobloodylutely sensational, it makes the imported pommy IPAs I have tried taste like watered down cats piss. It is the first time I have done a beer like this and I'd just love to have a pommy mate to test it on.... Ross........

If you ever have the chance the Wig & Pen IPA it has the hop and malt levels they should, as surprisingly I found, does the JS IPA on tap, which now happens at the Regatta. I'd always found it to be a very dissapointing beer before but on tap they've upped the hop levels nicely...

Hopefully my IPA will come out nicely too! I can't believe it's only been 6 days since it went into the fermenter... Suddenly 1 week in primary 1 week in secondary seems like such a long time!!!

I love my IPAs so the lack of good ones in Aus has always been a disappointment.

want to give this a go but the only english yeast i have is S-04 Whitbread, is it worth giving it a go?

this is a good looking recipe. I love Goldings in IPA.
i did one quite similar last year with something like 250g of EKG in 17L, with bairds pale malt, carared and jaggery, with WLP023. i found WLP023 took its time to settle flavourwise (heaps of weird esters) but after 2 months was very tasty.

the wignpen IPA is fantastic, a benchmark for this sort of thing. got to get meself set up with cask stuff one of these days.
