I am a big fan of the hoppy American-style India Pale Ales. This is my take on the amazing Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA. It's an easy recipe for even the novice homebrewer.
Steep for 50 min:
1/2 lb crystal malt
1/2 lb carapils
Bring to boil - 6 gallons H20
3 lbs amber dried malt extract
1 oz Warrior pellet hops - 1 pellet/minute for 60 min.
1/2 oz Amarillo pellet hops - 1 pellet/minute for 30 min
1/2 oz Simcoe pellet hops - 1 pellet/minute for 30 min
3 lbs amber dried malt extract - add at 15 min
1 oz Irish Moss at 15 min
Ferment - Safale US -05 dry yeast
2 weeks minimum - fermentation
Secondary Fermenter....
Dry Hop - 1/2 oz Simcoe pellet hops
Dry Hop - 1/2 oz Amarillo pellet hops
For extra flavor, I add skip the secondary fermentation and add the dry hop additions above directly into the keg. Place some glass marbles at the bottom of the keg. Then add your hop pellets to a nylon knee-high stocking (just a couple bucks for a 12 pack at the your local grocery story). Tie off the end and drop it in the keg. The marbles keep the stocking away from the end of the dip tube to avoid clogs.
