I have made a string of Galaxy malt/rice lagers for the summer but now have an idea to brew an IPA using only Pride of Ringwood hops. A search of the interweb didn't help me out much, and it seems that POR is mainly used for bittering early on in the boil, and rarely late.
Has anyone ever tried making an all POR IPA before? I have a ton of the stuff to use up, and I was thinking of making this IPA up to about 60-70 IBU's and about 7% alcohol, quite possibly with US-05 or similar.
I have some English yeasts to use also, if that might work better, and am willing to go higher than the usual 40 or so IBU limit for an English IPA.
I intend using Marris Otter for the base malt, so any ideas as to whether this will work or parameters to stay within would be greatly appreciated. I need a big IPA hit and really have no idea as to how POR would be late in the boil.
cheers,
Crundle
