I am using Adnams yeast that I've got from a keg of Ghost ship so that should be interesting.
Its a bit of a use up for the hops but I want something with bags of hop bitterness and aroma.

Re: Mish Mash IPA
I think that you should take the 60 minute Cascade addition and toss it in at flame out instead. You will get the most out of the Cascade that way

Re: Mish Mash IPA
Yeah, or split that Cascade addition in half: half at 30 minutes remaining, and the other half at flame-out. I would aim for around 30 IBU bitterness and use the rest for massive hoppy aromas.6470zzy wrote:I think that you should take the 60 minute Cascade addition and toss it in at flame out instead.

Irregardless, I think you're about to make a tasty brew. And the Adnams dual-strain?! Jealous!
Best of luck!

Re: Mish Mash IPA
Goldings may be more English but I've got shed load of cascade that I need to use. (Why is it I always get carried away when buying hops!)
Thanks guys. I think that I will move the cascade to 30 and flame out. but round the WGV and challenger to 20g for the 90 minute boil.
I'm also going to drop the crystal a tad so will be a little drier.
I really wanted to give a big hop punch with this one. but with an IBU 45 do you think the bitterness will be too much? I'm not really sure as I haven't done one like this yet. my thinking was that I needed lots of bitterness to balance the aroma (hopefully anyway)
The black sheep bitter is supposed to be 31 IBU but I didn't think it was that bad.
This is what it looks like so far.

Re: Mish Mash IPA
Looks like a delicious brew to me. Best of luck with your brewday!
Re: Mish Mash IPA
Your 45 IBU will be fine, not even that bitter, a rule of thumb says 1 IBU per point of gravity, and I and many others often go much further than this with excellent results!

Re: Mish Mash IPA
I though about dry hopping but need to look at my process. I got an infection last time using a bag. Will think about it.

Re: Mish Mash IPA
Just to say this turned out well despite messing up the water treatment . Was a bit mineral to start with but had moved into a reasonably hoppy beer. Not as bitter as I thought it might be.
