Old time IPA recipe sought

[Vossy1]

The title says it all really

I've had a look at Durden Park and my own books but I find myself coming up short....no surprise there really

Does anyone have any links to old time IPA recipe's please

Vossy, if you're after a Pale and Goldings and nothing else recipe, there's loads in this Camra Classics IPA book I've got, including ones from Durden, (Original India pale Ale 1837), there's Scottish IPAs also.

what exactly are you after and I'll post some recipes

Hi Garth, Thanks for the very kind offer

Yep I'm after a pale and goldings and nothing else recipe. I do have other standard malts as well if the recipe's call for them

I have lots of Goldings so I want to try a very high IBU IPA, which I can mature for as long as it takes .....hopefully

Thanks TBE, I'll have a look at that link

Vossy,

I'd recommend mashing enough pale malt to give you a 1.070 OG and hopping with EKG to about 120-150 bittering hops and a handfull of hops after flameout.

That'll get you a very nice IPA that's true to style.

And drive it around in your car for three month to simulate the trip to India

Just had a look at your Hop Juice IPA 7.

A lot of the Durden recipe's have a very long mash, upto 3 hrs.
I notice you went with 90 minutes. Do you think there's any benefit using a longer mash for an IPA

I think the longer time is to compensate for the thick mash that Durden Park recommend.

Naa, the 3 hour mash time came about because they were emulating old time practice... mash 1 hour, let stand two hours, etc. 90 minutes is fine. The thick mash is so that there's enough headroom in the mash tun to be able to raise the temp to 77c for mashout by adding hot liquor - thick mashes also promote more body in the beer.

IPA.... Low colour maris otter pale (or 50/50 lager malt and ordinary pale malt) to OG1070-ish. 2.5oz of Goldings per gallon as copper hops. Boil 90 mins. Optional additional 1-2oz per gallon at switch off. Ferment dry - Nottingham yeast. Mature 12-18 months.

That's it Vossy, off you go

Such encouragement should be against the law....but thankfully it's not

Why on earth would you want to add hot water to raise the mash temperature? Surely you'd just change the setting on the PID controller and go have yourself another beer
