Beer Style: Imperial IPA
(14C)
Recipe Type: partial mash
Yield: 5 US gallons
Very bold body, beautiful copper color, a warming hint of alcohol, and aroma hops unlike most West Coast IIPA's. The focus was to bring out the citrus without overwhelming grapefruit characteristics. This recipe was a big hit during the 4th of July and is fairly simple to brew.

Note: Whole hops were preferred but inavailable, but the combination worked well. I'm sure either can be used and yield the same results.
Mash at 152F x 60 minus at 1.25 quarts per pound of grain. Sparge at 172F to achieve approximately 6.25 gallons of wort. Allow 2 weeks in primary and 2 weeks in secondary. Prime with 4oz of corn sugar for bottling. Dry hop for 3-5 days according to recipe. (I will add some Orange zest next time to bring out a more pronounced Orange flavor but great without).
