Beer recipe - American IPA
| ABV 7.0% | Color 25 EBC | Bitterness* 55 IBU |
Description
Typical American IPA. Golden coloured beer, light-moderate body, moderate-high alcohol level and highly hoppy. Hops is the most important ingredient in this style, bringing the high bitterness as well as the citrus and fruity aromas of American hops (“New world hops”). Despite being a strong and bitter beer, it is very refreshing and a nice pair for spicy foods.

*The bitterness depends on the alpha acid content of hops, boiling conditions and other parameters.

Cool down the wort to 18°C and pitch the yeast.
Ferment at 18°C for 1 day then rise to 22°C. Dry hop in the 7th day with 200g of each hop. Once the fermentation is done (FG reached and off flavours removed – about 7 days), drop the temperature to 8°C and rest for 1 day and then harvest the yeast. Drop the temperature to 2°C and rest for 7 days.
