I wanted to clear out some leftovers so I pieced together a brew today. Here’s what happened:
12# 2-Row
1# Crystal 20
.5# Light Munich
.5# Wheat Malt
.25# Biscuit Malt
Mashed at 152F for 60 mins.
2.2 oz US Tettnanger at 60 mins
3 oz Fuggles at 15 mins
3.8 oz Fuggles at 1 min and steep for 30 mins.
1056 slurry to be pitched (still steeping while I have a Chimay clone)
What have I done? I’ve never made a Tett/Fuggle IPA before! Any predictions? ???
That’s why I had so much sitting around and why I’m a little worried! I use Fuggles in my Stout and ESB but that’s about it…
Now the twist is I have about 1.5oz of Amarillo left which I’m toying around with using to dry hop. That combo can not have been brewed yet: Tettnanger/Fuggle/Amarillo! Ha! :
And Denny, you would be proud. Batch sparge #2 and I may be leaning away from my homemade sparge arm. It was really nice to sparge indoors when it’s 20F outside!
Shipyard IPA is a tasty English IPA brewed with Fuggles that I enjoy quite a bit. Unless you are a confirmed Fugglephobe, I think you’re going to like the results here.
That’s good info. I am not a Fugglephobe, just never used them in an IPA before so I had no idea what I was getting in to. Would you now advise not to dry hop it? I did a 3.8oz hopstand for 30 mins with Fuggles. It sounds like I should let them shine at this point…
I think it will be good. I like fuggles. Despite all those hops I don’t think it’ll be a hop bomb, with that grain bill it will be malty and somewhat hoppy, yet delicious
