'Murican IPA - Jan 2017

Recipe for a 'Murican IPA, brewed for a club-only competition to take place in February. I was aiming for something with a combination of fruity-piney hops, without super-high bitterness, and a reasonably malty profile to support it. Hence, the combo of Simcoe, Calypso and Centennial hops, with a bit of Munich, Victory and Wheat  malt thrown in. All very-late addition hops with extensive whirlpooling. Acid malt for mash pH.

Notes:
------
After flame out and addition of Whirlpool hops, recirculate using March pump, allowing to whirlpool for 5 minutes at ~210F. Then cool to 180F and allow to whirlpool at 180F - 160F for 30 minutes. Apply gentle heat if needed to prevent it sinking too fast to 160F.

Brewed 1/16/17.

Slightly lower than hoped for mash temp, around 150F. Got ~7.25 gallons of 1.055 OG wort into the boil kettle. Rolling boil, added hops as specified and whirlpooled. Applied some gentle heat to avoid dipping down to 160F too fast. Then cooled rapidly to 100F.

Transferred wort, with quite some hop gunk and trub, into fermenter. Got ~6 gallons of 1.066 wort. Cooled to 62F, then pitched 1 packet of rehydrated S-05 yeast. Did not aerate. Wort sample smelled nice and hoppy, with a pieny character, and tasted fairly bitter.
