Need some carification on my ingredient choices and hop boil timing
Want to make a simple high gravity single hop ipa. Will this recipe work?
- 10 pounds DME Amber
- 1 pound Crystal 40l steeped 45 mins
- 1 oz Citra hops start 60 mins
- 1 oz Citra hops 45 mins
- 1 oz Citra hops 30 mins
- 1 oz Citra hops 15 mins
- 1 oz Citra hops 1 min
1 oz Citra hops off
California Ale yeast
I'm kind of iffy on how much Crystal malt is necessary to impart color or flavor and also the effects of adding hops at different boil times.
