Ale Tales - Cold IPA Recipe
Cold IPA. Malts: Canadian Pilsner, Canadian 2-row, flaked corn, carapils. Hops: Northern Brewer (1oz), Mosaic (2oz), Citra (2oz) and Nelson Sauvin (2oz). Yeast: LalBrew Novalager. Fruity and citrusy clean lager.
Iterating on my dry-hopped cream ale, I evolved the style into its more alcoholic and hoppy successor, the Cold IPA. The malt bill was recycled, increasing total grain 2 kg and upping the alcohol a percentage point. For a clean fruity and citrusy west coast ipa I went with Mosaic, Citra, and Nelson hops. 1 oz each of Mosaic and Nelson were added to a 20 minute 80C whirlpool. At the very end of fermentation, 1 oz each of mosaic, citra, and nelson were added to the fermentor for 5 days.
