Sorry Guys I made a mistake. We will not be brewing an IPA we will be brewing an Imperial IPA. What the hell is the difference. Well its just numbers really. Take a look:
This is out of How To Brew: J. Palmer
Indian Pale Ale Style Guidelines:
SubStyles -------- OG (Original Gravity) ------- Degrees Plato ------- FG (Final Gravity) -------- IBUS (International Bittering Units) --------- Color
English IPA -------------- 1.050 - 75 -------------------- 12.5 - 18 ----------------------- 1.010 - 18 ------------------------------ 40 - 60 ------------------------------ 8 -14
American IPA ----------- 1.056 - 75 -------------------- 13.5 - 18 ----------------------- 1.010 - 18 ------------------------------ 40 - 60+ ---------------------------- 6 -15
Imperial IPA ------------ 1.075 - 90+ ------------------- 18 - 22+ ----------------------- 1.012 - 18 ------------------------------ 60 - 100+ --------------------------- 8 -15
*Note*
I will do a write up on how to measure using a hydrometer soon. This is kind of jumping ahead in the book. But Why waste time we have to taste this soon to be delicious beer.
OG - FG Approximate ABV Chart:
Plato Conversion Chart (This is usually used with a Refractometer. I do not have one therefore I won't be going into to detail):
Color Rating Chart:
I need to do some more reading about yeast and making a starter then I will post the recipe and an explanation on yeast.
