Re: BRUT IPA
Just brew an IPA, add amalyse enzymes and keep the IBUs on the low side as you’ll have no residual sweetness to balance the hops. For a 1.060 IPA, I’d imagine you’d want to bitter to no more than 30-40 IBUs. I’d be tempted to ferment at the warmer end of a clean yeast’s range to get subtle esters. Saf-05 springs to mind.
Mash on the low side too, maybe 63-64C

Re: BRUT IPA
Good point about the hop balance - was thinking Amerian IPA & ditto Safale US-05 Beer Yeast.

Re: BRUT IPA
This whole BRUT thing made me think of a [url=https://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/201 ... ho_20.html]Tally Ho recipe[/url] as published by Ron Pattinson, that made me think of Duvel, that made me think of Duvel Triple hop with Duvel using a var. diastaticus yeast that is amylolytic.

Try the following: take 30-50% of your grist, depending on the amount of enzymes in it. Mash that part in cold 15-20°C over night, use 4-5l water/kg. Next morning run it off in to some bucket. Now take your spent grain and the rest of the malts and mash in as normal. If you do a two step mash, make the 72°C step long. Run off as usual. Now there is some calculation to do, heat up the wort to such a temperature that when adding the cold wort part the total will be at ~65°C. Let it stand for a while, then boils as usual.
The trick is that in the cold mash you only dissolve nearly all enzymes, proteins and a bit of sugar that was formed during malting. These enzymes will now reduce all longer sugars, made in the prolongued second rest to simple sugars. Great foam is all inclusive as for the cold mash part you jump over protease activity.
You could keep a bit of the cold mash to add it to the fermentation where enzyme activity will continue.
For a TABLE BRUT IPA only use the cold mash, calculate with a total efficiency / yield of about 20-25%.
