English IPA
January 16th, 2010
This is my entry for the CRABS Feb competition, brewed last evening. This is a true to style English IPA (BJCP 14A). I was careful to select malts (Thomas Fawcette) and hops that would be used in England.
This is the recipe from Brewing Classic Styles on pg 183 with minor tweaks. “A hoppy, moderately strong pale ale that features characteristics consistent with the use of English malt, hops & yeast. It has less hop character and a more pronounced malt flavor than American versions.”
This batch (#35) has me very excited as the brew day went flawlessly.
