My Hop Paradigm shift IPA has blended well with the barrel chips, took a long while though. Its now got a classic 'olde' edge to it.Barley Water wrote:I think that yeast will do a credible job for you. By the way, the "cutting edge" on this side of the pond is now sour ales as well as/or in combination with wood aging. My favorite American IPA is Dogfish Head 60 and I have a pretty good recipe for it I can make at home. I am seriously thinking of making a batch then oaking it. I really have no idea how it would come out but I think it's good to add a bit of mystery once in awhile. Oh well, so many beers, so little time.

AlexNG, I wouldn't bother about 20minute hop additions, your aroma will be gone in 20 so you might as well make them 90 minute(max the bitterness) or steep hops if you want the aroma instead. I do FWH,5 & 0.
