Townes IPA recipe?

[OldThumper]

Hi all,

Can somebody please tell me the IBU for this recipe? I have seen 40 and 48 on these forums and I am unable to find a copy of Marc Ollossons book to buy

There are many many threads which mention this recipe but the actual IBU or grist amounts seems to vary.

I am assuming it is:

Pale malt: 96.2%
wheat malt: 3.8%

IBU: 40 using appropriate quanitity of cascade hops.

Is this right?

Thanks.

Your figures are spot on there. Cascades at full boil and 15 min. Personally, i would bung a few in at 5 min and flameout.

Thanks for the confirmation Jubby
Yep, I will steep a load of cascades to give me that lovely aroma.

Ollorson says 1045 OG, 1010 FG - grist percentages spot on.

Cascade 96g (5.2%) 120min
Cascade 27g 15min

IBUs of 40 - but the figures in the book don't work out for me - for 5.2% AA, using the hop calculator linked from the hints page, I would use about 70g as the first addition.

I did this one last year using US-05. Needed 5 weeks to mature in the keg just to take the bitter edge off - it was a brilliant beer with loads of lovely cascade flavour. Lasted less than 3 hours at a mate's BBQ...

Yes 96g of cascade seems way too much to me as well, hence the clarification of the IBU!

thanks all.
